Hi

Thanks for all your assistance in this matter.

I found out that the account which I was loggin on with (root) was the cause of the problem. I logged into the system using another account and was able to make the changes.

Cheers

cvm-vmailmgr(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   cvm-vmailmgr(8)

NAME

       cvm-vmailmgr - vmailmgr virtual user validation module

SYNOPSIS

       cvm-vmailmgr

CREDENTIALS

       Pass phrase

DESCRIPTION

       This  module  validates credentials using accounts in a vmailmgr system.  It does domain lookups the same way qmail would to determine what
       system account and virtual account to use.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       QMAIL_ROOT (optional)
	      The root directory under which all the qmail configuration files are expected to be found.  Defaults to "/var/qmail", which  is  the
	      normal qmail install path.

       VMAILMGR_PWFILE (optional)
	      The relative path to the password file located in the virtual domain's home directory.  Defaults to "passwd.cdb".

       VMAILMGR_DEFAULT (optional)
	      The  name  of the default or "catch-all" account to look up if no match is found for the virtual account name.  Defaults to "+", and
	      is only used in lookup mode.

SEE ALSO
