Mail accounts issue - The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 11.4 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]

Hi all,

I have recently used this howto (The Perfect Server - OpenSUSE 11.4 x86_64 [ISPConfig 3]) and encountered a issue with the way that ispconfig 3 manage the email accounts.

I have one domain created and added a pair of accounts. I found that the only way to log in (pop3&imap / smtp) is using the entire email adress as username. Thats a big problem for me, found easy to configure dovecot to log with the user only (except in roundcube webmail) but with sasl auth i cant.

There is a way to tell ispconfig 3 to store email and username columns in db as ispconfig 2 used to do for authentication?

Regards

No. ISPConfig 3 uses the full email address as username as this is a virtual user setup and not a linux system users etup as used in ispconfig 2.
