Problem with POP3 Login

[masterkain]

hi there,
thanks for this wonderful application, I've set it up on a ubuntu breezy and is working good.
anyway I've one big problem, I can log in to mailboxes via webmail but not with any other client on internal and external network.
I've read many times this forum but I've not found a decent solution, thanks for the ideas.

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

it's fine with webmail.

ok, I've managed to get it working, users must login with ONLY username and password and NOT username@domain.tld .

it is possible to change this behaviour? I really need to login users via username@domain.tld form.

thanks.

No, because ISPConfig uses "real" system users instead of virtual users from a database. Real users aren't allowed to have an "@" sign in the username.

thanks for the reply, falko.
so there isn't a method to allow virtual users on ispconfig? maybe helped with a database?

another question, I leaved my little server farm with a website configured, sometimes it results offline with a little status webpage, what does it means? overload check or something similar? thanks.

www.kuht.it is offline

www.kuht.it is currently offline. Please try again later.

Virtual users will be available in ISPConfig 3 which is currently developed.

If you still see a status web page it means that Apache is still working. I guess it's some kind of status message generated by the software (CMS, Wiki, ...) you run on it.

I use userdb located in /etc/userdb
with my courier-pop server and it works fine.
I use xxx@domain.tld for pop login.
It will take a bit to set it up.

But this kind of setup is not supported by ISPConfig.
