Hey folks,

I want to authenticate a pop3 user without a domain part and then use the domain part to specify a Maildir subfolder to grab messages from.

So, this was my attempt: # use the domain part to access a subfolder mail_location = maildir:/mail/%n/Maildir/%d # strip of the domain part for authentication purposes auth_username_format = %n

login: testuser@.INBOX.SubFolder

Authentication of testuser works great, but mail_debug shows me that the domain-part (%d) is empty when expanding mail_location.

Do you mean that you want to have user@domain1.org and user@domain2.org have the same password but different maildirs? What passdb and userdb are you using? I don't think there's a way to do this with auth_* settings. With SQL it would be easy.
