Hi!
I have a server with a few thousand mailboxes (for a few hundred
domains) on it. The usernames are following several naming conventions:
username_domain
domain_username
username_domain.tld
username-domain
domain.username
The reason for this chaos is that the accounts were set up on different
mailservers, some imail, some linux, some with virtualmin and some
manually and through aquisitons etc it has all ended up in one server.
Now we are setting up atmail to replace imp. The loginprocess of atmail
is a bit different in that you just type in your mail address and atmail
tries a few combinations of loginnames to login.
However, some of the combinations over atmail cant login to. Some of
them works fine when using this line in dovecot.conf
auth_username_translation = @_
Is there any facility to let dovecot do username mapping?
If I eg have a file: usermapping that looks like this:
user at domain1.com domain1_user
user at domain2.com user_domain2
user at domain3.com domain3.user
And yes, I know that the best way is to start again and use virtual
domains and get all into one naming standard, but unfortunately, that is
not going to happen.
The other alternative is of course to hack into the source code of
atmail, but I am not that confident in PHP.
Any ideas?
