Each registered user on the RaQ 3 must have a username that is unique across all virtual sites on the RaQ 3. You cannot create two users with the same name on different virtual sites because all users share the same password database file ( /etc/passwd ). For example, if there is a user with the username <mary> on virtual site abc.com, no other registered user on the RaQ 3 can have the username <mary>.

The RaQ 3 supports multiple client and server email protocols but does not implement virtual email users. This means that for the entire RaQ3, each user must have a unique username, even if the users are on different virtual sites.

An email alias is a way to create an account so that more than one user can have the same email name on
different virtual sites (<mary> on abc.com and <mary> on xyz.com). However, the underlying username for
each person must be unique.
For example, the Site Administrator of abc.com can give Mary Brown the username <mary>; her email
address is mary@abc.com. The Site Administrator of xyz.com (on the same RaQ3) can give Mary Smith the
username <marys>; the Site Administrator can then set up an email alias mary@xyz.com for Mary Smith.
The alias points her incoming messages to the unique username of <marys> at xyz.com."


This hapen and on RaQ 4i ?

Aloha
well this sucks plain and simple any body find a work around for it or
this is another reason RaQ's are weaker
hehheheheheeh

I take it this does not happen with Plesk etc.... cpanel etc...

RaQs basically run Linux (modified) and this is common on linux servers (On RaQ3's, 4's linux servers in genera). One username can be used on the server, after that you can just create *any* name (such as joewblow525356) and alias it as joe for that domain. This is how it works.

You might not like RaQs (I'm undecided at this point), but if you do dislike them, at least have a valid reason as to why they are 'weaker'.

Aloha
yeah
I guess it is a bummer
how does companies like hostpro then modify unix so it can have multiple usernames with all there little virtuals ??
any ideas

and any ideas about Plesk or any other panel running unix can there be only one user name with those ??

I know I will ask em also but just cvuriolus
Mahalo
