    Hi,
    I followed "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Ubuntu 7.10)" (http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-ubuntu-7.10) to setup the mail environment and it works great!

    However, due to some limitations I'd like to see SMTP-AUTH use just the "username" instead of "[email protected]" when authentication remote users. From what I have understood, SMTP-AUTH uses Saslauthd which in turn uses /etc/pam.d/smtp to authenticate against the mysql database.

    What is the change I need to do in order to accomplish this???

    Thanks
    Kris

    Yes, the username in the database is "[email protected]. I was wondering if there is a way to authenticate by just sending the "username"...

    Thanks
