Re: [IMail Forum] External db not creating user directory

[Dave Wilson]

Thanks Samuel,   That worked.   Now I am wondering if its possible to set-up an alias on the fly also. This is because the email address is to be different to the username.   What I mean is, that instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED], I want the address to be simply [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Unfortunately, simply setting the mailaddr value in the db to [EMAIL PROTECTED] won't work.   Any ideas?...I'll get this app cracked yet   Dave Wilson Internet Technology Manager, BizNet Solutions   Co-Founder CFUG Ireland http://www.cfug.ie   224, Lisburn Road Belfast BT9 6GE   Tel: 02890 225 776 Fax: 02890 223 223 web: http://www.biznet-solutions.com   email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Samuel Miller To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2000 4:23 AM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] External db not creating user directory I know that this happens, and when I create an Imail account on the fly after someone has registered I send them a welcome email which in turn creates the folder and mbx files. Otherwise the first time they access the web messaging interface it comes up with a mailbox error.   Sam  -----Original Message----- From: Dave Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, February 03, 2000 9:53 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] External db not creating user directory HI all,   I've set up the use of an external Access db for maintaining accounts on a domain...the problem is that although the accounts are set up, the user directory isnt created and hence the main.mbx etc aren't created either.   This is when the accounts are set up directly in the db. Anyone any ideas?   I have the db set up correctly, with the correct fields etc and it works fine if accounts are set up in the Imail administrator   TIA   Dave Wilson Internet Technology Manager, BizNet Solutions   Co-Founder CFUG Ireland http://www.cfug.ie   224, Lisburn Road Belfast BT9 6GE   Tel: 02890 225 776 Fax: 02890 223 223 web: http://www.biznet-solutions.com   email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
