dear support

Is it possible my clients to login on web mail with their email andress (for example: user@domain.com) instead of (user.domain, user@domain or user%domain).

thanks in advance Vakis

Yes - in fact, that should work out of the box already, assuming you have a standard Virtualmin install from our setup script.

Ok thanks. How can I make it work?

I guess the real question is actually why isn't it working right now? :-)

Check the file /etc/usermin/miniserv.conf for the user_mapping line - it should be something like :

user_mapping=/etc/postfix/virtual

then check the file it references to make sure that it exists and contains the email addresses of your users.

I've checked the file /etc/usermin/miniserv.conf and it contains the following:

Looks like the user_mapping line is missing. Try adding the line :

user_mapping=/etc/postfix/virtual

then running :

/etc/usermin/restart

I've done it but it still not working.. Do you have any other idea of what to do?

Submitted by JamieCameron on Sun, 09/05/2010 - 16:00

Can you verify that the address you are trying to login with is in the /etc/postfix/virtual file?

Submitted by bvi@postcy.com on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 01:34

from where can i verify that?

Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 01:45

Just SSH in as root and run the command :

grep email@domain.com /etc/postfix/virtual

and see if it outputs anything.

Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 12:16

Any chance I could login to your system myself to see what is going wrong?

Submitted by bvi@postcy.com on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 13:16

yes sure. you want send you user and pass here?

Submitted by JamieCameron on Mon, 09/06/2010 - 23:11

Adding user_mapping_reverse=1 in /etc/usermin/miniserv.conf was the fix.
