You can have user accounts and mailboxes > with no home directories or telnet or ftp access (what I do for POP3) Not exactly, today we have users ( validated onto a windows NT domain ) and each of them goes thru our ISDN on the net emptying their mailboxes at our ISP ( different uid:s / passwords than on logon at the NT domain ). what I want to do is for my freebsd box to connect to the ISP, then emptying all those accounts ( about 40 or so ) and then bring em home to the BSD box and have the users polling the BSD box instead. that way I can control a) the costs of ISDN b) the redirection of mail, as in having multimple recipients on the same email adress. > If I understand your question, you may want to set the freebsd box up as > primary mailhost for your domain through DNS, with the other mail server > acting as secondary, spooling incoming mail until your box connects and is > sent the mail.

I want it to be the only mailhost for my domain, the users shouldnt even know that their mailboxes are in fact on the ISPs computers.. all the mail the will see is coming from the BSD box. / Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
