In fact, when I used the.real.host, it was my own relayhost, not the host with the foobar.com virtual domain. I tried with "webmaster@foobar.com"@foobars.real.server and foobars.real.server just bounced it, saying it didn't know who webmaster@foobar.com was. Of course, this is probably because webmaster@foobar.com is not a system account. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com
