Why not let the system suggest a name for each mail user created. And limit the name to 8 chars (making unix style happy) my domain webhosting.com if i add a user then the system will suggest the following. 1:st user : webhosti 2:nd user : webhos01 3:rd user : webhos02 4:th user : webhos03 And also before the system suggests a name it can check against excisting names to make sure the name is unique. regards / Daniel.
You wouldn't believe how many people would complain if the username was limited to 8 chars, believe me...
I don't like to state points on other appliactions and comparing them, but I feel the need to just do it this time. In CPanel/WHM I can create a new website with any name I want so long as they are not on the same domain. for example: [email protected] and [email protected]
This is possible in these applications because they use virtual user accounts and not system user accounts like ISPConfig. Personally i would like to change mailusers in ISPConfig to virtual users, but therefore we will have to rewrite about 30% of the sourcecode. This is maybe something for a 3.0 or 4.0 version
That would be quite "sweet"! Now i Have to remember what the current version is . ok.... Not too far away..
