If you want everything to authenticate via the full email address, then remove all the domains from locals. Any mail for a domain in locals has the domain stripped from it before authentication. So get the domains out of locals and just use hosteddomains.

Guys, I thank you for all your help. I have managed to make it work by test and trials. The problem was that userdb entry vma@colt.net was being stripped and thats why it wasnt authenticating. I have removed @colt.net from this line and now it works.

1/ Questions though, how come for my system a/c (users that exist in /etc/passwd) the mail gets delivered to "cur" folder in Maildir. But for Virtual users, it gets delivered to "new" folder in Maildir?

2/ How do I get the whole vma@colt.net authenticating, maybe I'm being silly by adding something extra in one of the config files?

Rgrds Ali.
