Michael,
Hi, I thank you for your help.. although I think I might be
mis-communitcating here. I do have Sendmail mapping incoming users to real
users on the machine. Now, the issue is that the REAL user is just a place
holder because the customer thinks their username is "bob" not "bob-dm1" or
even "bob1". When they setup their mail client they need to specify
"mail.dm1.com" or "mail.dm2.com" w/ a username of "bob" and their unique
password. when they login to the pop server their going to give me their
username "bob" and password to access their mail in their seperate domain.
that make better sense?
now I know that we need unique users on the Linux host, and that there
cannot be 2 bob accounts on one machine. to remedy this we have a sendmail
mapping of:
@dm1.com %1-dm1
@dm2.com %1-dm2
this allows for multiple bob accounts w/o any overlapping. now the issue is
pop login. pop typically doesn't 'know' about sendmails' mappings, and we
don't want the user to have to say "bob-dm1" or "bob-dm2" as a username..
just "bob".
so my question is: How do I map POP /LOGIN/ just like I map Sendmail
delivery? I.E. Their going to go to "mail.dm1.com" give me "bob" as their
username, then their password. Can I have pop say "oh.. okay. it's bob at
dm1.com give him bob-dm1 mail"?
