Well, I'm sure someone could think of a reason why they like the drop-down,
otherwise it would never have been created.

Besides, my patch doesn't obsolete the 'logindomainlist' file, it complements
it. If you specify a 'domainmap' file with the following entry:

13.13.13.13:mydomain.com

And you have the following entries in 'logindomainlist':

bob.com
bob2.com
mydomain.com
myotherdomain.com

And you access sqwebmail with the following URL:

http://mydomain.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail

Then the 'logindomainlist' dropdown will still exist, but the 'mydomain.com'
option will be the default! This makes the 'logindomainlist' file even more
user friendly, I think.

Not wrong, but missing some information. See above.

Hmmm... hadn't thought of that. Can you access your system accounts with

[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the userid field?

I'd like this patch to be as flexible as possible, so if there is a way
to accomodate mixed system and virtual accounts, I'll implement it.

Thanks for the comments!
