Thanks for your input, but I have just gone into the server (minutes before
your reply) and tried an adjustment within the virtusertable file which has
worked great, or so it seems at this stage anyway.

I looked for the text of:
admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx	admin

and changed it to:

admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx	username

Then I did a # makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable

and it did the trick.

In addition I also deleted one of them completely, ie. no longer had the:

admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx	admin

did the makemap hash again and I was then able to assign the 'admin' aliase
within the aliases for that particular domain within the GUI.

It does not seem to have affected anything else at all, and all other emails
to admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx comes thru to the admin as usual.

Heres hoping it stays that way :)

Thanks again,

Mac
