Bingo.

The script was in Perl, it loaded the usernames into an array and the
shadows into a hash. It then built the output file by using the array
value to call as a key for the hash.

The problem? When the hash is loaded it has no knowledge of the domain
name therefore when an email address exists under more than one domain
name only the last password gets stored and it gets written as the
password for all email addresses with the same bit before the @

Got there in the end and nice to know that its a problem with coding
rather than an annoying untraceable bug in the software. I'm off to make
the script aware of the domain names earlier on which should be fun..

Thanks for the help folks.
Regards,
Colin.
