I think you might be trying to work it in a more difficult fashion than it needs to be. If the user wants "janedoe@xxxxxxxxxxx" to receive mail for "jane@xxxxxxxxxxx", you only need one local account. Set up all the virtual users, for whom "janedoe" is supposed to receive email, to point at janedoe, i.e. jane@xxxxxxxxxxx janedoe janedeer@xxxxxxxxxxx janedoe janedoe2@xxxxxxxxxxx janedoe Then, let the user set up their mail client to send mail as whichever address they want to reflect as "From:". That could be "janedoe", or something completely different. "jane@xxxxxxxxxxx", "janedoe@xxxxxxxxxxx" and "joanne@xxxxxxxxxxx" can all point to the same actual user, and that user's login name could be "joesmith". The thing to keep in mind is that as long as there are aliases or virtual addresses, and as long as they can configure their mail client to display the address they want to use, the username that they use to log in and retrieve their email doesn't matter. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
