Hi Jake, Can you post your solution for the above, or a pointer to it
please?

Does LDA= "Local Delivery Agent"?  Is that the same thing as an "MDA"?

MTA = Mail transport Agent  (Sendmail)
MUA = MAil User Agent (Mutt, Eudora, Lookout)
MDA = Mail Delivery Agent (Procmail and Mail, according to RedHat Docs)

LDA = MDA, also per RedHAt system Docs.
