AW: AW: Username with @ sign at login possible?

[Helmut Weigel]

Hi!

yess your right. more specified ist like  

we have a lot (~30.000) of users e.g. name at domaina.tld in the default domain (postfix). 
In cyrus they are just user.name  

Then we have several users in the postfix virtual table e.g. someone_else at domainb.tld 
They are mapped to cyrus users user.someone_else_domainb

The mapping ist done in the ldapmap in postfix. the ldap maps email to uid.

Regards Helmut

Hi!

Quick note to the list admins: Can't this list be condigured so replies go to the list, not to the sender? I frequently forget to "replay all" 
and other do as well.

On the subject:

 > Up to now we mapped virtual users to usernames like usera-xxx.

Does virtual user mean, you are already hosting different users in different domains, i.e.:

firstname.name at domaina.tld
someone.else at domainb.tld

So if I am firstname.name at domaina.tld, I need to login using firstname.name#domaina.tld now?

Regards,
Torsten
