My guess is that you have been bitten by the same issue that tricked me a couple of times earlier : Probably , you just don't have the necessary permissions to use/see/acquire the mailhost. Try giving your dtml-method a proxy role of manager to check if this is the case , - you can tweak permission settings more specifically later , after you isolated this to be the problem.. :-) -- Geir Bækholt web-developer geirh@funcom.com funcom oslo | webdev-team
