I guess I'll start with a short greeting to all out there... and just so you
know, this is my first post.

As a background info, here is my

Now the problem... we've been using sm for about a year,
with good results... this morning I was called to help a user how claimed that
the emails that she was sending were being delivered as a coming from a
different user; she was running ie 6 (I think), and she was the only person
using her computer (so that rules out some one else using it and letting ie
save their username and passwords to login to sm).

In general our
sm talkes to our cyrus server... all sm settings are stored in the sm server
and all other mailbox info in the cyrus server...

When I checked
the destination mailbox for that mail that was sent from her account; the
message headers did not show her username at all; they were showing that the
message came from a whole different user (evethough she typed in her correct
username and password at the login screen).

When I tried to send
from her account, the composed window showed a signature information that did
not belong to her; and this was not even the same account that prompted the
support call; is was like the sm was taking her username and just opening
random preferences files... what is odd is that the cyrus server shows now
record of those mails being sent from her account... log files say
[squirrelmail authenticated user joe.doe] where her username was mary.smith,
for example.

I was not able to replicate this behavior a 3rd time,
and it only seemed to be on her laptop.... I have not gotten any other reports
of such symptoms...

Under what conditions will squirrelmail take a
username and password, and pass them to a cyrus server as complete different
username and password sets... and they are correct sine the cyrus server took
them....

Any help is much needed and appreciated.

Thanks
in advenced and sorry for the log post... but I think it is necessary
