OK, so I'm setting up my new server, and realize that there's no
webmail software, which is definately going aggrivate some clients.
So I go about installing Squirrelmail, which I have had pleasant
experiences with in the past.  I get Squirrelmail installed,
configured, and all logins working, but run into a couple problems.

1)   I use Webmin to create email accounts.  The users it creates,
however, are foo.bar...where foo = username and bar = site owner.  So,
if I create the user 'test' for a site that is owned by the user 'drew',
his username is test.drew, rather than it being [EMAIL PROTECTED]  After
editing the passwd and shadow files, I was able to login as
[EMAIL PROTECTED], but I've been told that IF a user needed SSH access
(which most likely will never be the case, as I am the only one with
shell access),
this would pose problems...which is understandable.  Is there any
other way to get this functionality without editing passwd/shadow?  I am
using dovecot IMAP, and the virtusertable has [EMAIL PROTECTED]      foo.bar
in it  So the IMAP server knows to use foo.bar for all mail belonging
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Any advice on this would be very welcome, but it's
not AS important, since it's working.

2)  Here's the REAL problem.  Once I was able to login, I started
testing.  I was able to send e-mails no problem.  However, I was
UNABLE to get any back  I recieve e-mails on a daily basis from my
cron script outputs, so I know sendmail is working, and I have no idea
what would be causing this.  I don't think it's an IMAP thing, since
IMAP has nothing to do with sending mail (I think).  Could it possibly
be a Squirrelmail thing?

Thanks for any help in advance.
