Happy to help. You are correct that when users log into sqwebmail they show up at your "main" domain, because they ARE all at your main domain. That what local domains are. The email account isn't really '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', it's 'user1 on your box. And your box answers to 'domain1.com', 'domain2.com', etc. But they are all really just users on the box. Fortunately, unless you have explicitly denied it, sqwebmail allows you to set the FROM address in emails you send. Click the "Create Message" link and you'll see that the first line is the FROM: line, and you can edit it. So your users can set it to be whatever they want. If you want to preset this for them to avoid confusion, then in each user's Maildir, edit (or create it if doesn't exist) the file 'sqwebmail-config' and add "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (or whatever is appropriate for this user). This will set the FROM address automatically when they create a message. They can still change it, however, manually. If they do, then whatever they change it to will become the new default. Spaces are not allowed in the "FROM=", so use "+20" in its place. So you could set [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s FROM line to be FROM=USER+20TWO+20<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Which will show up as From: USER TWO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> when they send an email. This doesn't solve your problem of users seeing themselves as members of the "main" domain instead of one of the other local domains when they log into sqwebmail, but I don't think there's a way to change that except to move to using hosted domains. Enjoy!
