Ok - this gets stranger.  I tried sending mail from root, and from=20
another user on the localhost.  The mail dissappears.  In=20
/var/log/maillog I see this (sorry - it is a bit long and the wrapping=20
will probably be a mess) :

Notice that all accounts, even root, return an error 550!!!

I dunno?  The accounts you see above (peri & testpop3 & root) are all in=20
/etc/passwd!  I've only put testpop3 in /usr/local/etc/userdb for=20
testing purposes - but still no cigar.  Should I try=20
'testpop3@perimeter.co.za' in userdb?

Or, any other ideas?

--=20
