Sometimes I do that, but every once in a while, someone will get a normal
PPP account (or some other) but already have an email address somewhere
else and don't want one locally, so in that case, it's pointless to have it
automatically create a mailbox. Currently, I just go and delete the
mailboxes if I remember about it...

BTW Dale, on an unrelated note, did you find out anything the other day
regarding the Ascend-Maximum-Time problem? Just curious.
