Reed > http://www.reedmedia.net/ Ok...here is what you have to add: in /etc/postfix/aliases an entry like this: mopalias: /var/spool/virtual/zschopau.globalpark.de/mopalias in /etc/postfix/virtual something like this: bogus.de #a comment or a text must exist here @bogus.de mopalias Afterwards do a #postalias /etc/postfix/aliases #postmap /etc/postfix/virtual this will install the new virtual domain bogus.de (for detailed virtual domain setup refer to the postfix documentation) and the alias mopalias. whenever a mail to XYZ@bogus.de is sent, the mail is forwarded to mopalias. postfix looks in its alias db and finds that every mail should be forwarded to /var/spool/virtual/zschopau.globalpark.de. Needed changes to your patch: when gnu-pop3d has been successfully patched open gnu-pop3d.h and edit: MAIL_UID 65534 I don't know if 'nobody' has this UID in every distribution. This is SuSE's UID of nobody. You have to set this because postfix runs under nobody and not under mail. One more question. I have to install pop-before-smtp and unfortunately gnu-pop3d doesn't log anything of the IP. Any hints, patches? Greetings, Andreas Streichardt
