Hello, I have seen that when I use the virtusertable plugin (based on the sendmail's /etc/mail/virtusertable information), I can properly login to squirrelmail with the full e-mail address, but when I want to compose a message and when I send it, then the received e-mail contains the unix name instead of the correct e-mail address (based on the virtusertable file also). Hence if I login as jo...@my..., which is a unix account named 'john-mydomain', then the sent e-mail will be coming from joh...@my... instead. So virtusertable should also provide this inverted search in the virtusertable and send back the proper "From:" header in the e-mail so that the client can answer through the "reply" button properly. I am using squirrelmail V 1.4.22-2 on CentOS 6. Thank you. Regards, Daniel |

Helo Ted, Yes I have seen this behaviour. My goal was to signal this so that the cirtusertable would take care about this sending email part. I know that the virtusertable seems to work well - and in fact I installed it properly and it fits my needs as for the login (I'm thankful for that) - but for sending e-mails I think that it should also take care of doing the inverted job so that the webmail user doesn't have to change his email address and enter it explicitly and manually in the options. This is the reason of my request. It should by default use the translated and available email address in virtusertable instead of using his use...@my.... If he puts explicitly an e-mail address in the options, then it would take this one in the reply-to field of the sent e-mail. Do you think this would be feasable? To be honest, I think that this virtusertable plugin misses something here to be complete, as everybody would be expecting thisplugin to take into account the e-mail translation at every stage in squirrelmail once the plugin is installed. Thanks for your consideration.

I apologize for the top posting. I didn't intend this conversation to be posted to the list. Daniel, What you are asking is beyond the scope of the plugin. According to the squirrelmail plugin page the plugin was last updated in 2003, and the description is "To login with your email address as in virtusertable". To add the functionality you request would require what I would consider to be a pretty massive rewrite of the plugin. What might work for you instead is the "Ask User Info" plugin. When a user logs in, this plugin checks if emailaddress/full name is not set, if not set prompts the user with the relevant options page. Look for it here. http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=142 Ted Hatfield On Sat, 25 Aug 2012, Daniel B wrote: > Helo Ted, > > Yes I have seen this behaviour.

The Login Manager plugin already does what this plugin does and much, much more. I think it supports the OP's request, but if not, it can be updated to do so. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php |
