Also from the mod_rewrite documentation: "When you prefix a substitution field with http://thishost[:thisport], mod_rewrite will automatically strip that out. This auto-reduction on URLs with an implicit external redirect is most useful in combination with a mapping-function which generates the hostname part. Remember: An unconditional external redirect to your own server will not work with the prefix http://thishost because of this feature. To achieve such a self-redirect, you have to use the R-flag." I.e if you specify: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ https://webmail.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,NC] then anybody requesting http://webmail.yourdomain.com/anything should be redirected to the https://webmail.yourdomain.com/anything. For more complex rewriting have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html Simo -- :r ~/.signature
