Well, in the first place this is a client configuration issue. You could just configure your Thunderbird client with IMAP username set to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > I want to be able to do both things I asked above, ie if a > user logs in with just a user name then append @domain.com to the name, See DEFDOMAIN in the pop3d/imapd config files > or if the user logs in with [EMAIL PROTECTED], then rewrite the > address as [EMAIL PROTECTED] before the address is authenticated against > the database. So you want the same user to be able to login with two different E-mail addresses? Then you can put two different entries in your mysql database for each user; or you can use a custom SQL query in authmysqlrc to perform the mapping. > > Sorry if I am not giving you enough info, but I'm fairly new to linux > server configuration! > > If it helps, I used the following guide to set up my server: > http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ > Brian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
