username with dots making me dotty...

[Gobbledegeek]

Hello
       Thanks for replying. yes I've tried user/j.smith. It seems to
work with altnamespace = yes If I remember (I'm not on that machine
now). But only inconsistently. I was successful only once, then the
same messages starting cropping up for the 2nd and 3rd users... ?!!

 I setup a mock isp mail server with dns/postfix for etrn-only mail
spooling for occasional retrival, and a "customer" postfix setup with
squirrelmail and cyrus for endusers..,  phew! As an
linuxfromscratch.org and FreeBSD user who can consider myself an
advanced power user , I've to say Thank god for proprietory paid
products!! A simple task like creating usernames bogging me down when
I'm a person who can cut custom fedora distros... is it open-source or
CMU cyrus development team that sucks? !! I don't know anymore...  but
I will always recommend xchange or lotus notes from today on...I will
only recommend opensource for email gateways etc from now on.... never
for end-user applications - I swear it.

I think I'll switch to MailDIR/ format mailbox and junk cyrus. (and
preach hatred against cyrus imap.. )

Thanks for your time
