Hi all,
I am still trying to solve a QMT problem and have reduced it to the
simplest case: I created an account on domain awabllc.com
<http://awabllc.com> with the username adamtest (using qmailadmin web
interface). Then I tried to log in via Squirrelmail. If the username
is adamtest it says ERROR: Unknown user or password incorrect. If the
username is adamt...@awabllc.com <mailto:adamt...@awabllc.com> it logs
in successfully.
Does anyone know why this happens?
Because this is a virtual domain setup, and is designed to host hundreds
(thousands even) of different domains. Two users on different domains
with the same name would invariably happen, so the system requires the
full email address as the username. Otherwise how would it know that
adam from the example.com was logging in when there was another user
named adam at the other.com domain?
If you are not going to run many domains (read: only one or two) you can
configure it to accept short usernames and not full addresses in the
Squirrelmail config if I remember right. Look in the mailing list
archives - I know this topic came up a year or two ago.
