RE: [vps-mail] /dev/null in virtusertable on VPS2?

[Justin <justin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is what's below any different than what you did?

iManager -> Tools and Wizards -> Virtmaps (Add)

For "Virtual E-mail Address":

somedomain.com

For "Real E-mail Address":

userthatdoesnotexist

For "Virtmap placement":

somewhere after all the real username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx addresses

?

Thanks!!

Justin =)
