Hi all
I’m a squirrelmail newbie. I have Squirrelmail is running on Debian woody distro, PHP version 4.3.10, squirrelmail 1.2.6-2 + latest vlogin plugin.
The mail server is also woody/postfix 1.1.11 and uw-imap or courier (tried both – currently back to uw).
This is probably an IMAP/Postfix issue, but hopefully someone has done exactly this..
I have a bunch of existing standard user accounts on the mail server. Each of these accounts are catch all’s for one or more domains. This is determined by postfix config. Squirrelmail by default will use the domain name based on the URL or the overridden value by vlogin config when signing in via IMAP to the server. Uw-imapd however complains that it could not find [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I tooled with it and configured it to strip all but the username on a per domain basis.
This worked fine and you could log into squirrelmail and send/receive mail.
However, when composing a message, squirrelmail in this case is using the *global* domain name defined in the squirrelmail config.php file. Blanking this (in the hope that vlogin plugin config would overwrite) causes SMTP problems with the HELO part of the conversation with the server.
So is it possible to configure the vlogin plugin to imap to a given user account, stripping the domain name because imap is dumb, and then when sending a mail, use the domain name specified in the vlogin config file rather than the global one?
Or do I have to get a smarter IMAP server that can strip the domain when performing authentication? I do not want to modify the user accounts. Its nice and simple and the non *nix guys here aren’t scared of it.
Thanks
