RE: [vps-mail] iManager Mail Manager issue VPS2

["Brian Haines" <providertalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry I cross posted this to the VPS2 list without realizing it.

Master gets a copy of several of the email accounts.

User		Virtmap				Alias
xbob		bob@xxxxxxxxxx => xbob
xmaster	master@xxxxxxxxxx => xmaster
xuser		user@xxxxxxxxxx => yuser	yuser => xuser, xmaster
xmary		mary@xxxxxxxxxx => ymary	ymary => xmary, xmaster
xmark		mark@xxxxxxxxxx => ymary	ymark => xmark, xmaster
xtom		tom@xxxxxxxxxx => ytom		ytom => xtom, xmaster

We do it this way because the master account is a record of all email sent
to these users, and this organization wants to have a copy of all of this
mail available on one account.

I am in the habit of putting the x, which equals some part of the domain, so
that I know which account uses that email address and so that I can have
bob@ and bob@ on two different domains on the server, which is the point of
Virtual Maps, correct?

I am open to changing the way this is setup, but it works without issue
until mark@xxxxxxxxxx wants to login to iManager with his email address
instead of his username.

This is really required if iManager is really going to a Webmail program.
After all of the time spent on the Mail Manager interface I am sure they
expect that it is tool for email. Especially when users want to check their
own Spam folder.

Again in the scenario above the first guy, bob@xxxxxxxxxx, and log into
iManager just fine with his email address and use Mail Manager to send and
receive email.

user@xxxxxxxxxx, mary@xxxxxxxxxx, mark@xxxxxxxxxx and tom@xxxxxxxxxx cannot
login to iManager with the email address at all.

	What if you create a real mailbox for "user" and forward the mail
for "master" to it?
