Hi Andreas,

seems that you mixed up things quite much.

To make it clear for you once more:

I assume user mail has uid=8 and group mail has gid=8

* Your spool-directory has to be set to smtp-daemon as owner
	chown 8:8 /usr/local/mail -R

* Your database records MUST contain the uid/gid correctly
	update users set uid=8, gid=8

* Your pop/imap-deamons mus know what uid/gid to use, also what
  database credentials
	correct this in the config files for your deamons

* Your rcm config has to know just about the server it should use
	$rcmail_config['default_host']
	$rcmail_config['default_port']
	$rcmail_config['username_domain']
  Optional parameter:
	$rcmail_config['mail_domain']

If you made these steps as described then I can't see why rcm+vexim
should not work properly. Provide more details in case of further
problems.

regards
Daniel
