Using e-mail address as user name for SMTP and POP3
- by PeterMmm
I have a exim4 setup as SMTP. My user naming schema is to name all mail users for this server as m001, m002, m003, ... and then redirect to a real e-mail address with virtual domains.
How can I allow my users to
authenticate with exim to send mail
using either their system user name
(m001) or the email address
([email protected])?
User login information for m001 are stored in linux system files (passwd, shadow). They are linked thru entries in a virtual address table for each domain that this server can serve:
# /etc/exim4/virtual/example.com
m001: [email protected]
m002: [email protected]
m003: john@mydomain.org
The same can be applied to qpopper ?
