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 |
