How would it know? The only alternative you have here is to use the $sendmailVirtualUserTable setting to map the users who are different than the rest. (That's a Vlogin setting - please see plugin docs for more info.... downside here is that you have to manually add every new account that behaves like this to this map file). -- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting Guidelines: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/MailingListPostingGuidelines List Address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List Archives: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
