But I do rememeber sticking informaat.nl in somewhere, and when I went
to the config file I have changed the settings and they are working now :)

I have run the test and all is well now.

Thanks so much for your help, the mail has been the rockiest road so
far, now for the challenge of getting mutt and ldap and the work

Thanks again,
