Re: [qmailtoaster] login without email address, but ID only

[Jean-Paul van de Plasse]

Just checked README.ipaliasdomains from the vpopmail package.
Maybe this is enough for you since it is only 2 domains..

The vpopmail-toaster does not have this ip-alias-domains enable, so you have 
enable that yourself.


VPOPMAIL'S "IP ALIAS" DOMAINS
-

When performing an auth in vpopmail, you would generally use the full email
address as the username

If many of your users are from a single domain, then you can optionally put
that domain into the ~vpopmail/etc/defaultdomain file. Then if a user doesnt
include a domain when they auth, the auth will be automatically performed
against the domain nominated in the defaultdomain file.

This system works well as most mail servers only need to have one domain
nominated as a default. However what would happen if you later inherit
another large domain full of users who have their email clients setup
to login with just a username only? A vpopmail server can have only one
default domain. It is going to be a lot of work to have to go to each email
client and change it over to login with full email address.

vpopmail provides a solution for this scenario : IP Alias Domains.

To use IP Alias Domains, you need to bind some more IP addresses to your
mail server. Then use the vipmap program to associate a particular domain
to a particular IP address.

Then when the auth request arrives, if it does not contain a domain,
vpopmail will attach the matching domain from the IP alias table.

There's your answer, Gabriel. Thanks, Aldi.
Gabriel, would you care to add this FAQ to the wiki?

[Aldi Mmm]

If you're talking about login using Squirrelmail, you can make  a file
called 'defaultdomain' in /home/vpopmail/etc, with a text of your default
domain.

I know there are patches arround that do this based on the hostname the 
client connected to.

Plesk for example uses this.

But currently qmt does not.

I don't think that's possible with virtual domains, as SMTP-AUTH has no 
way

of knowing which domain the user wants to log in to. (How do it know?)

I don't think that's possible with virtual domains, as SMTP-AUTH has no way
of knowing which domain the user wants to log in to. (How do it know?)
