Hi Ken,
On a server that just does email, there's no reason that a username can't be
pretty much whatever you want, @ is just another character.
All authentication services on an RHEL box (and clones) use PAM
(Pluggable Authentication Mechanism). Which ties into the user and
password
Probably because all the way back to the Cobalt RaQ this is a hosting appliance
that provides web, mail, FTP and other services. Most people using BlueOnyx
are probably hosting at least web and email and maybe other services on the
same server.

If you look at the attempted logins to hack email
Hi Ken,
What if we host mail for domains foo.com and bar.com, and we have a mail
account for j...@foo.com, what if there is also a j...@bar.com. Sorry,
there can only be one "john" on the entire server. So the second john has
to be john2?
That's what "Email Aliases" are for and every user
We actually host mail on a separate mailserver not using BlueOnyx, but in
general it seems like bad practice to use bare usernames on a shared hosting
server.

account for j...@foo.com, what if there is also a j...@bar.com.
Darren,
My reading of the docs is that it accepts either

Microsoft is horrible but they have simply moved and hidden the correct
screen for this. It is easy to do when you know where to look.
Close Outlook and go to the Control Panel and Look for Mail.
Sorry, resulting line should read
auth_username_format = %Ln
(no leading #).

Darren,
On a 5208R box you would edit the /etc/dovecot/10-auth.conf
file and uncomment (remove leading #) from
#auth_username_format = %Lu
and change that line to read
#auth_username_format = %Ln
Note the ending n versus u. This drops the domain from
a login that has user@domain format.
All,
We are running an older (5208) system, and we're running into an issue
with newer versions of Outlook which do not allow the user to modify the
username when logging in. Is there a way to permit the system to accept
u...@domain.com usernames in addition to the bare "user" version?
