I can't reproduce this behaviour (using vpopmail 5.2.1 with qmailadmin
1.0.6), however, qmailadmin always switches to the main domain, i.e. you
log in as [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmailadmin shows "bob.com" at the main
menu, not "bobsmith.com".

This may cause trouble. If you have had a customer with
an-ugly-domain.com, having a zillion of alias domains, and then one day
telling you, hey, I don't need an-ugly-domain.com anymore, you're in the
bad situation that you can't kill an-ugly-domain.com because that would
break every single alias domain.

Furthermore, creation of ezmlm mailing lists will always succeed in
creating <listname>@an-ugly-domain.com, even if you logged in as
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

To get rid of the "the customers wants to close its main domain"
problem, I tried creating dummy hostnames for customers' accounts, e.g.
"<login-id>.internal", then having _all_ domains as aliasdomains for
"<login-id>.internal", thus being able to create and delete every single
domain without trouble. Unfortunately, this creates more confusion -
think about "Hi. I'm the ezmlm program on <login-id>.internal.".

Is anybody aware of this? Unfortunately I'm no C programmer, but I would
highly appreciate if qmailadmin took the domain name from the customer's
login instead of switching to the "real" domain right after login.

Does anybody have a hint on this?

Jonas
