I know, I am not a big fan of it either, but I do like their frontend
interface! Until, I have time to fix the backend I am going to have to deal
with the database system...


OK, sounds like the director is the way to go.
What format would this file have to be? Just a long list of users, with one
user on every line? Are there any examples of directors I could use to do
this?

Also, if I place this director at the bottom, will other mail to this domain
first be placed in my "real" accounts before this director checks a user
list?

Thanks

Michael
