Hi,
I recently opened a JIRA-1126 (Disallow the creation of alias from
non-existing username).
Before opening other ones related to virtual user, I would like to
discuss how this aspect should be managed.
1.- The management API is addMapping(String user, String domain, String
mapping). I always need to look at the code to find the goal of the
params. I first tough changing it to addMapping(fromAccount, toAccount)
which is more easy to undersand. For virtualhosting enabled, the account
is the email, so this would mean all mails for fromEmail will go to the
toEmail. For virtualhosting disabled, this may be more problematic,
because we may want to say "user1" at "domain1" goes to "user2". Or
maybe we could have two different methods (one for virtualhosting
enabled, one for virtualhosting disabled)...
2.- Since we enabled the SMTP ValidRcptHandler, we need to really create
the user, before using it as an virtual user. This was not the case
before. The need to previously create a user does not worry me, but I
find strange that, depending on smtp configuration, we would or not need
to create a user to define a virtualuser.
3.- JIRA-1126 Disallow the creation of alias from non-existing username:
I think this is needed so we don't arrive to situation where mails are
no more delivered in case a bad usage of the API (reversing the method
params).
tks,
- eric
