hello,

i have been using usernames like mail@nasr.at on my old server. Now with ISPconfig i am unable to register mailbox with login including '@'.

I need this when i want to save my old usernames, migrate emails and then only switch to the new server...

Any ideas? Thanks...

cant be done in ispconfig2 because ispconfig 2 saveing usernames to /etc/passwd file. Because of some misterious linux bug, file /etc/passwd is not able to hold @ in usernames.

in forum Tips/Tricks/Mods (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19) are some solutions how to avoid this but its custom and you should have to rewrite some code and make some scripts working.

I suggest you to wait for ispconfig 3 (hope will be released soon), its completly new, and support @ in mail user name (MySQL based).
