Postfix authentification and virtusertable

[backeyes]

Hello,

It's been a long time i'm using ISPConfig and i'm now pretty familiar with it. But i never found the answer of this problem :

When i create a user for a given domain, i can log in with postfix and i can retrieve emails with this username (for example) :
username : web4_user
password : user password

But i never figured out how to log in with "user@domain.com" instead of "web4_user". I'd like to log in with these one :
username : user@domain.com
password : user password

I found that my main.cf contains this line at the end :

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable

And my virtusertable contains at least a line where :

user@domain.com web4_user

So why can't i log in with "user@domain.com" ?
When i try, postfix logs is saying :

localhost courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:xx.xx.xx.xxx]

Thank you

The postfix authentication is done trough sasl, the virtusertable file is not involved in the process. SASL authenticates against /etc/passwd and all users in /etc/passwd are in the format web4_user.

To authenticate with the email address, have a look in the tipps & tricks forum, you will find there descriptions for achievibg this with courier and dovecot and postfix.
