Hmm ... then maybe there is a more basic question. When creating users for QMT, I made usernames with an @ symbol because it seemed things got confused otherwise. That is, I have the following usernames:
a...@parkermerrick.com - for the parkermerrick.com virtual domain a...@awabllc.com - for the awabllc.com virtual domain This has not been a problem in the 3 or 4 months we've been using the server, but should it be changed? Can I have the username as just adam for both virtual domains, or will that confuse things?
