No, definitley not.

Ugh...  that's really messed up.  I'd tell you it's a good reason not to
use Plesk, but you're already moving away from it :)

This really isn't as big a deal as you'd think - most ISPs require this
kind of login, and for most email clients it's a one-time change.  It's
not like they have to change passwords or email addresses to something
random.  Just give them fair warning (and be prepared for a few phone
calls anyway :)).

I have multiple domains in the same IP.
I tested Plesk with the same username in 3 different domains.

I think the way it works is by comparing username and password and associate it 
with a domain... Not an elegant solution.

When I try to change the password to one that exists on the same username for 
another domain it give me an error.


If it is like this I think I'm going to inform my users to add domain to every 
login.



Multiple domains on the same IP will require the users to use the fully 
qualified name.  There is no way around this.

Re: [vchkpw] POP3 and IMAP login same username without domain

[Luciano Bolonheis]

Hi,

maybe you [or anybody else] could add some code, to use the domain
accessing the server...
like.. I do a pop connection to mail.domain1.com with username
bolonheis, the daemon authenticates [EMAIL PROTECTED] against
vpopmail.
If the domain is domain2.com, then the daemon adds @domain2.com to the
username passing to vpopmail.

I did it with squirrelmail, but don't know how to do in pop or imap
servers. In squirrelmail i took the server name and splitted the
domain part from it.

Hasn't anybody did this yet?

Regards,
Luciano

I have multiple domains in the same IP.
I tested Plesk with the same username in 3 different domains.
I think the way it works is by comparing username and password and
associate it with a domain... Not an elegant solution.

When I try to change the password to one that exists on the same
username for another domain it give me an error.

If it is like this I think I'm going to inform my users to add domain
to every login.

Um...  I don't know how Plesk works (I've heard questionable things about
it's Licensing status, plus it being closed source - I like to be able to
fix my server bugs :)), but unless you are using a different IP address
and POP3/IMAP server instance for each domain, I don't see how you could
be doing this right now.

If you are really using separate IP addresses per domain, compile vpopmail
with --enable-ip-alias-domains, and make sure that reverse DNS is
configured properly - see http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/vpopmail.html for
more details.  There may be other ways to do this, but I don't know about
them.  Of course, I'd just make the users use their full email address to
authenticate, but that's just me :)

Hi,

You'll need vipmap and an IP for each domain.

Sadly this solution doesn't work with the newest courier-imap or dovecot.

[vchkpw] POP3 and IMAP login same username without domain

[Miguel News]

I'm migrating a server with Plesk to qmailtoaster (with vpopmail).
I have some email accounts with the same username and differente domains.
Say:
 username at domain1.com
 username at domain2.com
 username at domain3.com
 ...

Using plesk, users could login via POP3 and IMAP using only the username.
I need to mantain this on the new server.

Thanks in advance
