hi all i have this problem: i need the same username for different domains [email protected] and [email protected] but ISPconfig wont let me. and then when i erase a user for one of the domains i cant create it again with the same username...... (i did erase the recycle/trash) so can ISPconfig do this??? (same username for diferent domains) and what is the way to erase completely users??? a lot of tanx
What you mean are same email users i suppose. Yes ISPConfig can do this if you have not disabled the userprefixes. Recycle bin: 1) Wait until ISPConfig has written the changes to disk before you empty the recycle bin. 2) Empty the recycle bin of the correct reseller. There are more than 1 recycle bin!
i`ve just find this post: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=737 where falko said im not using prefixes so my users are as I create them ( example: sales ) so i dont know if i did understand but can i have the same user on diferent domains???? if NO how can i trick ISPconfig to let mo have them???? is very impoirtant cause a lot of clients have the same usernames (sales, manager, customerservice, etc..) tanx again
1) Email addresses (the part in front of the @) are independant from usernames. Dont mix this up! The post from falko states the same as i posted above, enable userprefixes and your problem is solved. Thats why ISPCOnfig has userprefixes!! Generally: Email users are system users and they are always unique for the complete server.
I guess what you want is this: you have domain1.com and want to have the email address [email protected], and you have domain2.com with the email address [email protected]. This is no problem, because you can create a user for domain1.com, no matter what name you use, and you create a different user for domain2.com, and then, under Email Aliases, you give them the alias sales, and voilà, you have the email addresses [email protected] and [email protected].
tanx to both... till and falko my problem was that i erased the prefix so when i created the users for the 2 domains there was a duplicate entry. so the solution was enable again the prefix web[WEBID]_ and now i dont have that problem..... and the other thing is that the important thing is the username not the mail-username email: [email protected] username: web3_sales tanx,, PS : the way falko sayd also works i tested
