Or, you may be able to do it by adjusting the .mailrc file that everyone gets when you add a user. You can adjust any of these dot files by going into /usr/share/skel and editing these master files -- dot.mailrc, etc. Perhaps if you put a dot.pinerc file in this directory it would also get copied out to new users. If I ever allow user access to my site I'll have to try that. If it works, there's your default file. Ken
