If you mean the user selecting the empty item, then yes, this always allowed
typing the domain, as I recall.  For me, selecting the blank item always
created the same behavior as if the popup were not there at all.

Agreed.

You mean instead of the hidden field?  The hidden field and the static text
(with the @ sign) were always redundant.

If you mean allowing the user to type their domain in a domain field instead
of in the userid field, I think that is also useful.  I even suggested it at
one point very early on.  But I also didn't need to make this any harder!

I would love it if qmailadmin had a domain popup.  That would be much more
helpful for me.  But if I had to go to a different web domain for each email
domain and this made the email domain automatic, that would also be much
better than what we have now.

I'll leave the details on this one to you!  But it seems to me that a
separate additional 4th field is the best place to put this.
