Sure. Just start with one subdirectory for each instance with a separate elogd.cfg file, where you specify a different port. Note however that there is also the concept of "top groups" (see documentation) which lets a single instance of elog look like several independent installations. 

Great. Thanks Stefan. 

I also am already using the top groups. This is just to totally separate my work and home elog.....I have to admit I am really an elog addict. 

This elog and the idea behind it is absolutely  brilliant. Very useful, easy to maintain, migrate, configure, easy to use, versatile, etc...  Good on you all.

Cheers,

Behdad.

Thank you

 For the login to your email sever, the password is encoded in base64 form (actually not really secure). Somehow your server does not support this. Unfortunately I cannot test this without access to your server. But you can try yourself by doing a telnet to your mail server like:

$ telnet <server.domanin> 25

...

$ AUTH PLAIN

With the "plain" method, you should be able to enter your password in plain text (not base64 encoded), and see if that works. If you are successful, I can add this option to elog.

Best,

Stefan
