[vchkpw] Logging only with the account name
Hi, I have this mail server with webmail - IMP - that authenticates users through IMAP, in this case, courier-imap. courier imap in turn gets the authentication credentials from vpopmail. *I only have one domain*. Now, this mailserver belongs to a costumer of mine that is a f* pain in the ass. Yesterday, he rang me to ask if it would be possible to login in the webmail using only the account name, dropping the domain part, i. e., for instance, logging only with foo, instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The webmail is correctly configured. My question is: is it possible to configure vpopmail to accept only foo for the login instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] ? Remember i only have one domain in the mail server. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
RE: [vchkpw] Logging only with the account name
i'm not as experienced as some of the guys on here, but vpopmail should accept just the login for your primary domain (since you have only one this shouldnt be a problem). -greg -Original Message- From: Mário Gamito [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 9/17/2004 5:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] Logging only with the account name Hi, I have this mail server with webmail - IMP - that authenticates users through IMAP, in this case, courier-imap. courier imap in turn gets the authentication credentials from vpopmail. *I only have one domain*.

Remember i only have one domain in the mail server. as Greg pointed out, with only one domain it should do this for you automagically, however, it's best to be explicit, so put your domain into ~vpopmail/etc/defaultdomain and you will now be able to log into it without the domain part of the email address. Just curious, but why is it such a big deal to your customer that he use only the username part of the email address? :) -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

If you are using one of the newer releases just do: echo mydomain.com /home/vpopmail/etc/defaultdomain The newer versions read that file and append it to any user name that does not contain an @ sign.

Hi Jeremy, Thank you for your tip. Just curious, but why is it such a big deal to your customer that he use only the username part of the email address? :) Don't know. I guess he's the missing link between the monkey and the homo sapiens sapiens. I kid you not :P Regards, Mário Gamito
Re: [vchkpw] Logging only with the account name - Part II
Hi Jeremy, Thank you so much. Your tip really worked, after almost 2 days strugling against the server. Come by Portugal and i'll gladly offer you a can of lager :) Thanks also to the other people that contributed with their ideas.
