The sendmail >pages should have details on this. Is there a patch for ipop3d that would handle this so that users could pick up their mail using pop3 clients. There's a protocol (developed by Demon Internet) called SDPS which they created to handle this sort of problem and that's what I'm really looking for. If a user logs into the pop3 server with a username the same as their hostname they get all their e-mail (regardless of the user it was sent to at their domain), if they login with the format username+hostname they get only the mail for username@theirdomainname. Any ideas where I could get hold of the daemon / pointers on how to implement it? If I applied the sendmail patches I could quite easily write a pop3 daemon to serve the clients using the above format. Can I get sendmail to deliver mail for a domain into a mailbox in the format /var/mail/username.domain dependant upon the to: address? Also, I quite like qmail's way of putting mail into ~/mail, are there any patches for sendmail that do this? L8rz KrOnUs <kronus@null.net> | http://www.splash.nu/ | PGP Key Available
