I don't like the pop login userid

Good day folks,
I hope this question makes some sense, as I am in the early phases of testing ispconfig.

I see that the userID is [WEBID]_username. I see that the prefix can be changed, as well.

My problem is that I like huge, long userid's for pop3 that equal the email address.

I'd like to have [email protected] login with that whole email address, not web103_joecool.

I tried using a whole email address as the userid, and I got an error message.

It started with a letter, and was within the min and max length.

I assume it was the non-alphanumeric characters that broke it.

Can anyone confirm this, and is there a way to fix it?

Thanks,

GS

 

Cool, and that makes sense now that I know it creates system users (duh).

Anyway, I assume the max length being 32 characters is for the same reason (with libc-6) and not some limit set in the database?

Yes, that's right. It's a Linux limitation, not one of ISPConfig.

 

I think that a great solution could be repalce @ for other admited character, like '_' or '-'

Example: [email protected] will be test_noexist.com or test_noexist_com.
