Dear sir,

Can you please tell me how to make dovecot stipoff or ingore a @domain.com in a username? Currently, we are only using one domain (more may be needed in the future), and some of our clients have incorrectly configured mail clients with the @domain.com in the user name. We migrated from qpopper and teapop to use Maildirs (we are building a LVS cluster) and could not use mboxes anymore. In short, what I need is

Well .. What password/user databases do you use? One way is to set default_realm and set the @domain for all users in passdb/userdb. Another way is to patch the code. Below is a patch for plaintext authentication. Or maybe I should make option that if given realm is default_realm, it would look up the user without the realm. I'm not sure if it's worth doing though. BTW. Your mail to dovecot-list got stuck at spamassassin. I raised the spam points a bit and lowered HTML mail's points a bit. Better would be if I could update SA's whitelist automatically when people subscribe. But I'm not really sure how to do that with mailman.
