by default, looks like ISPConfig wouldn't allow us to have 2 same user or email on different domain (correct me if i m wrong). I have several domain my my machine, and let's say I have email [email protected] and when i try to create different user [email protected], ISPConfig will refuses it and saying that user 'hans' exist. Is there any setting that we can set to enable 2 same user name on different domain?
You mix up usernames and email addresses. You can have email addresses [email protected] and when i try to create different user [email protected] on the same server, thats why ISPConfig uses the username prefix. If ISPConfig complains about identical users, you might have disabled the username prefix.
yes, i turned it off coz it's look funny to have email [email protected], and FTP user like web1_hans. I dont want to have that prefix.
Username != Email address. You have a separate field for the email address, so the email address is not [email protected]. Linux system user names are alwyas unique for the whole server, thats the way linux works and nothing special in ISPConfig.
so in this case, it doesn't matter whether I use prefix or not, there is no way that i can have email [email protected] and [email protected] as the time? ISPConfig uses kind of /etc/passwd file? one user for one email address, got nothing to do with different domain?
Please read my above posts again: 1) Username != email address. 2) You may have [email protected] and [email protected] for sure, I told you that above. the steps are: 1) Activate the user prefix again, you should never deactivetd it. 2) Create the two email addresses [email protected] and [email protected] You can have 200 sites on your server and every site has its own email address info@.... without problems.
i tried and still failed. i activated prefix now. So in User & Email tab looks like this : - Email address : [email protected] - Username : igi-hans <=== uses 'igi' as prefix - Password : mypassword I saved it, and tried it with Thunderbird. If i use hans as login, it will fail, but if i use igi-hans, login will OK. Meaning, that I have to use [email protected] instead of [email protected]. But i try using webmail, both hans and igi-hans can login without problem. But mail send to other like Yahoo always appears as igi-hans, not hans. Is there any other setting that i missed??
This failed for sure. You have to restore the original prefix "web[WEBID]_" as it contains a variable. No, not at all. The third time: USERNAME != EMAIL ADDRESS You must set the correct sender address in your mail client.
