Thanks but unfortunately this really wont help me too much.
My fault for not posting it before, but I currently have 9 domains (with 
a likely hood of another couple more being added), with an range from 5 
to 15 different email accounts per domain, hence me thinking it might 
get a little messy with all the UNIX accounts and virtual user table.
