Ah; cool. Yeah, I'd forgotten most people were using POP/IMAP/etc from machines not on the local net; this is a terribly handy tool for that. I've been meaning to install that (though I have very few remote users) just because once in a while it's nice to be able to skip SquirrelMail. (http://squirrelmail.org). It's a nice package, but I really feel more at-home with Evolution or whatever; webmail makes me rash. :) I appreciate the link; I've tried this a couple of times and never seemed to work it out. I suppose now it's steamlined. I'll give it a try!
