Hello, Running FC5 x86_64 with dovecot-1.0-0_8.beta3.rhfc5.at Using system user/passwds for 99.99% of users...have sql user/pass enabled to test virtual users from mysql.
How do I strip off the domain when users provide user@domain.com so that my userdb and passdb use just 'user'? (disregarding sql auth...I'm not concerned with that right now).
In general I don't see this as very useful feature. Why are your users logging in with @domain? Or why not change your passdbs/userdbs to just contain the domain, and set auth_default_realm so everyone always logs in with domains?
Because, my users don't follow directions well, and it saves tons of tech support calls if we just strip the domain. They might have migrated from another ISP where domain is necessary, and just think this is the way to configure it.
Switching my entire userbase and billing/provisioning system to create names with domains appended isn't a viable option for me at this time. My current pop3 solutions strips domain names,I thought this was essentially a standard feature for pop3/imap servers. I've seen many people ask about this on the mailing list for quite some time. I don't know why there is so much resistance to supporting functionality that is mostly a standard feature with other pop3/imap servers, and which also makes it *much* easier to migrate to dovecot from other solutions which support the domain stripping. It is far easier for me to change a setting on the server side, then it is to get 100's of users (probably mad after the changeover) to change their settings (although in a perfect world this is the best solution).
