OMG, that is like the strangest way to structure usernames. I'd say dump Webmin or get it configured correctly. If you can't change it, vlogin can help your users log in without having to type the ".bar" part of their email.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.

But keep in mind that once they log in, their username is still "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and all email sent out will have that address on it unless it is overridden by setting the address in Options->Personal Preferences
2) Here's the REAL problem. Once I was able to login, I startedNope. SM is just a mail client. I mean, unless the messages aren't even being accepted by sendmail/SMTP server at all. Try using SMTP to send and you should get errors back if that is in fact the problem. Sendmail might not give you errors immediately. Anyhow, you need to look at your maillog and any other relevant logs, since this problem likely has very little to do with SM.
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?
