My ugly hack works. I tried some suggestions I got from the list
(including cheeto's patch) but I could get nothing to work to allow
users of one domain to check their mail without entering
user.domain.tld as their account name. Since I have several thousand
users I do not want to help them all change their settings.
Here is my nasty hack:
I changed two things to make user work (as well as continue to allow
user.domain.tld to work).
I added an entry to the mysql database for user with the same pwd as
user.domain.tld. This allows authentication to work, but then the
imap/pop mail software decided I was checking a different account than
user.domain.tld so it created it for me.
The 2nd thing I did was to find the mailbox folder on the hard drive
and created a link from user to user^domain^tld (the . is turned into a
^ in the file system for some reason). This allows the authentication
to work and the correct mailbox to be accessed.
So currently I can check mail on the new server with user and with
user.domain.tld.
So...does anyone see a problem with my hack solution? Not pretty, but
it works.
