[webmin-l] Virtualmin Email setups

[John H. <web...@ew...>]

If I turn on using the domain name as a part of a new email user 
account, entering newuser yields newuser.domainname, and 
ne...@do... works at the moment of creation... all good.

If I turn off using the domain name as a part of a new email user 
account and then enter newuser.domainname as the user account, upon a 
revisit to that user's settings shows newuser as the email address and 
newuser.domainname as the user account, but "Primary email address 
enabled" is set to 'off' in spite of seeing that it is 'on' during the 
account creation.

When moving new accounts onto a system, sometimes (rarely) we need to 
use the usernames as they exist on the old host server, so we don't have 
to help the new client with changing their email clients. Otherwise, I'd 
leave this set to use the domainname as a part of the username all the time.

It seems like I keep getting stung with not remembering to go back into 
each new user account to enable the primary email address when doing a 
mix of these accounts.

After creating an address like user.domainname, if I try to create the 
alias us...@do..., it says one already exist, but it can't 
receive mail.

It seems to me like what should be a 'manual' mode is sort of 
semi-automated here and to me not very logical.

Would this be considered a bug or a 'feature'? :)

Best,
John Hinton
