Squirrelmail IMAP issue


HI,

I have virual users hosted on postfix and im using squirrelmail as webmail. Whenever I'm logging into Squirrelmail and sending an email to anyone the return path is set to username.domainname@domainname.com. When anyone is replying to these kind of email addresses obviously there are bounced.

The virtusertable plugin is installed and $filename attribute points to /etc/postfix/virtual where postfix does all the mapping of virtual users.

What can be the issue any pointers would be appreciative.

Regards

In Squirrelmail options there is "Personal Information" option in here, if I add the email address in "Email Address field" everything is working fine, but previously this Email Address field was set to username.domain@doman.com format.

I cannot edit 300 users to reflect this change. Is there anyway to do it automatically.

Regards

It would help if you told us what you wanted to change it to.

offcourse username@domain.com, username.domain@domain.com is invalid email address and all emails sent will be bounced.

You could use canonical maps in postfix pretty easily http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html

I would think there would be a setting in squirrelmail to sort this, but since I've never used that plugin, I'm far from certain

Do you think the issue is with postfix? I'm able to send/receive emails properly using pop3 so I dont think I have to do something in Postfix. My IMAP/POP3 is handled by dovecot.

I think this has something to do with dovecot.

I would guess the issue is with the plugin. Dovecot is simply an imap server. I suggested using postfix to fix the issue because it is capable of rewriting the sender address on the way through.

Are you sure you set the plugin up correctly? Does the setup give any config options that may help here? What sre the user entries in your virtual users table like?

I know i have installed it properly, how do I test the virtusertable plugin?

/etc/postfix/virtual looks like this ( I have changed the real usernames)


Quote:
domain.com domain.com
domain2.com domain2.com
domain3.com domain3.com
username@domain.com username.domain
username2@domain2.com username2.domain2
username3@doman3.com username3.domain3
