i.e. sales@abc.com and sales@xyz.com :confused:

well this is a bad part of RaQ as far as I can tell
I have a 4i

if you have virtuals on it and you let users create ther own accounts then this can be bad you will get calls (I imagine) I can not set up my name for sales @blah.com

so I have tried this
I have about 15 accounts on my raq to play with

I set up a 3 letter code such as
sdh for sdhawaii.com
sdm for sdmaui.com

that way the user has a name of sdm.name@blah.com

so then you make an alias for that user with the name you want instead
tha is the only way I can figure out how to do this
anybody else have a better idea

if you have end user resellers not sure how you would handle this ???

Yep, once you take the actual username (with one site), you'll have to have something Honu posted, or 'sales1, sales2, sales3' and alias the other accounts.

The other solution is to have internal user names (u000000, u000001, etc.) and external user names (bob@domain1, bob@domain2, etc.) and require that people login as user@domain. This requires some tricky patching to the SSH, FTP, and POP3 binaries, but it is far from impossible.

Of course, it would completely kill any warranty on a Raq, so it's probably a solution best kept for people running something like FreeBSD.

yeah thinking more and more of getting a regular box adn running plesk or something easy to admin that allows a little more control and stuff
got to check more into panels

You most likely know this, but for people who dont know:

It is also wise to set a catchall for the main user in each domain, my experience is that it is possible for other users on the Cobalt to recieve emails intended for other users.

Setting a catchall on each domain will stop this from happening.

There are two ways of doing this:

in the control panel enter the following line in the aliases box: @www.the.dom
However, your users can easily remove this without knowing what it is. A more solid way (but be carefull) is to edit the virtusertable:

in a telnet/ssh open /etc/mail/virtusertable after the line that says
# Put custom additions below (Do not change/remove this line).
enter the following :

@www.the.dom \t user (where \t is to type a tab on your keyboard)

save this file and from the shell:
$ makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable
