There are two different operations. One is the delivery of the message to the local mailbox. This is where the "tmp" (or ".tmp" inside the domain folder) is used. The other one is the delivery of a local mailbox message, to a remote client, through POP3. Here "tmp" is not used and conversion (if needed - like Unix) is done on-the-fly. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
