I managed to figure it out or atleast get it working.. the changes i made to do that are as follows: old line @exactemail.com mymail new line @exactemail.com mymail+%1 in the virtusertable, seems like a security bit at the end of it made the difference. what it does or means im not sure, anyone care to explain why it worked with the +%1 appened to the end of the user name?
