It's a simple matter of having enough information to figure out who a person is. If you have identical user names for different domains, and they are different people, then you need some other piece of identifying information to figure out the domain. Be it a separate port or IP, or a domain in the login, there has to be something to tell these people apart.

DBMail uses a unique login, which is definitely a simpler way to deal with things. So the only way to get what you want is to have a separate install of dbmail for each of your domains. Not optimal in my opinion. If there is no way to convince your users they need to use their full email address as a login, you may just be better off sticking with what you have now.

how IMAP will determine when user 'xyz' from domain1 logs in

IP per domain, and unless I force all my users to connect with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (which most likely won't happen) then I
may be stuck here.

Subject: Re: [Dbmail] Question about Virtual Domains


Yes, it does work.  I do it now.  dbmail has a field for client id.

each user has an alias, but all of my users have a user name of their email address and an alias that is also their email address, you can set up multiple email addresses for each customer. I'm using postfix/dbmail/amavisd-new/spamassassin/clamav The same things that the barracuda networks gizmo uses (they don't use dbmail).

I really hope that I'm missing something here. How does DBMail deal with virtual domains?

User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
User: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Right now, unfortunately, most all my users would log in
as 'xyz' with POP server of 'mail.domain1.com'.

Currently I have to run 3 IP addresses on a very old NTMail server in order to deal with virtual domains. Can I do the same in DBMail, or how do I set it up to distinguish between the two users?
