Does anyone know how to set the system up to support mail users only without allowing them to login. The problems which I see are that: 1) Sendmail needs the user ID in the passwd file to know that the user is a registered user. 2) Qpopper requires the user to have a valid user id and password to connect to the POP server. Thanks, Chris
