Hello all. Okay, what I did here is actually make an extra
environment variable for each of the virtual hosts. The
only reason I did that is to just automically get the
"www" out of the HTTP_HOST variable. I could parse it
out if it is there, but it was just as easy to do it
this way.
Could someone maybe provide some sample code to have
qmailadmin and sqwebmail just pick that value out of
the new variable for login purposes? The new env variable
I made was MAIL_HOST.
Thanks again,
Jeff Jones
