Virtual Users And Domains... with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

[ikaros]

I followed this (http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu8.04) tutorial. The only difference is that I used a 2nd level domain e.g.: something.example.com instead of example.com.
I tested Postfix following the instructions at page 4, and I have created a user with phpmyadmin and sent him a welcome email with mailx. Everything seems to be fine, but when I try to login via squirrelmail I get the following error (unknown user or password incorrect) :

tail -50 mail.info

and

tail -50 mail.log

show that indeed the login failed:



Nov 5 14:59:25 mail imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=test, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Nov 5 14:59:30 mail imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], rcvd=39, sent=332
Nov 5 14:59:39 mail imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Nov 5 14:59:39 mail imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=test, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Nov 5 14:59:44 mail imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], rcvd=39, sent=332
Nov 5 15:00:11 mail imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Nov 5 15:00:11 mail imapd: LOGIN FAILED, user=test, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Nov 5 15:00:16 mail imapd: LOGOUT, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], rcvd=39, sent=332



but they don't explain why that happened.
Any ideas?


Edit:
I found what I was doing wrong. I had to login with username "test@something.example.com" instead of just "test".
