[Dovecot] Creating a "default" domain
Hello,
I'm setting up a test server to work through the issues involved in bringing a bunch of vpopmail/qmail/courier users into a postfix/dovecot server. So far I'm seeing lots of info to aid in the transition.
One thing I'm lost on is that since Dovecot is providing all the auth mechanisms rather than vpopmail, I'm not sure how to emulate a particular vpopmail behavior we rely on.
Vpopmail allows for the concept of a "default" domain for authentication. So if I have a bunch of domains, and one is "example.com", users in that domain can login with only the username part of their id (ie: "john") rather than supplying the domain (ie: "john@example.com"). I need to continue to offer this unless I want to walk a few hundred users through reconfiguring their mail clients. :)
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Charles

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks very much. That does exactly what I need.
I'm really enjoying figuring out Dovecot more than I ever did fiddling around with Courier. Very nice and helpful group of people on this list.
