Hi Scott.
Variation I am currently doing, all accounts forward to one, and I just 
pick up email from that one account.  However, that account is Dialup 
that I am looking to drop, which is why I am trying to reconfigure stuff.
Tried configuring SASL, blew something (no idea what), and fell flat on 
my face.   Which is why I am asking for help.  And I do not currently 
have (I don't think) POP3 or LDAP software installed at j2eeguys.  Would 
be nice, especially if something could be set up that would have Webmail 
access.  But this Java Developer is out of his league. :(

Do have some antispam and antivirus utilities running on my J2EEGuys.com 
system, however.  Not too concerned about virii on my account(s), as I 
run Java/Linux just about everywhere.  Somewhat more concerned about 
other users, which is why I do have antiviral scanner running.

Regards,
Steve
