The -s parameter is mis-labeled as being the name of the "rootdomain". Actually it should be the name of the server running XMail such as "myserver.mydomain.org". That entry was the template I used for all the other commands so that mistake was propagated throughout the entire guide. Arrggg!! So sorry. I'll fix it ASAP.

If you have correctly defined search domains you can also use just the server name without the domain name. I think correctly labeling this parameter should clear up any confusion on this. >I hope that this helps, > > johnbo > > You've been a great help, thanks.
