why do you use an own POP3 and FTP for each customer/domain???? We are using the same POP3/FTP/SMTP for all customers. Of course you need individual Logins, you can solve this by naming them CUSTOMERNR-1, -2 and so on or by using DOMAINNAME-1, DOMAINNAME--2 and so on. For ftp, we do a CHROOT in the customers Webroot (=his home-dir). So where is the problem??
We are also using one singel pop3 and smtp server for all customers, and also use the CHROOT solution for FTP accounts on un*x servers, however other FTP servers on other platforms (don't want to start an OS war here, but some of us do use IIS on NT for FTP :)) do not always support this mechanism. Has anyone solved this on NT? Perhaps by using different FTP server software? And I agree with Daniel that accounting is a very important issue here. Security is another one, firewalls being configured based on source and destination IP addresses. kind regards, Herbert -- Herbert Baerten HB5351 HostIT Network Manager NCC9166-RIPE
