I was thinking of something more like this .. (Note: this won't function i know.. but its in example if what i want to do. Feel free to develop this idea into a later version - i know several people who would find this useful.) --- /etc/virtusertable --- ## tashita.org's section ## @tashita.org /usr/home/tashita/virtusertable --- end --- In this example... the root virtusertable passes the mail to the client's virtusertable which processes the data.. something like this. --- /usr/home/tashita/virtusertable --- default mail alias1 email@otherplace.com alias1 friend@somewhere.com alias3 bob@bob.com --- end --- ------------------------------ Wholesale Hosting Inc.
