Changing password for additional domain for admin user

[edogs]

We got the small problem.
Our "main login" to directadmin are "admin".
Our main site, let's call it example.com
We have added through CMD_ADDITIONAL_DOMAINS domain example2.com and got e-mail like a [email protected]
Same thing on example3.com and so on.

The problem is that to check this e-mails we must enter our "main" password to our DA control panel, admin password. And the second problem that all passwords for all e-mails like a admin@example\d+.com are the same.

In control panel we can change passwords for any additional e-mails, but not for admin@example\d+.com

We have tried to go to CMD_CHANGE_EMAIL_PASSWORD and change password from that place, but it tells us "Invalid Username or Password".

So, the question is - how to change the password in such situation? Please, advise.

The admin email address refers to the Linux/Unix admin user, and there's only one on the server, with an alias for each domain set up for email.

Since it's a reserved username, and since it's serverwide, I'm not sure if this will work or not; try it:

Create a forward for each domain, forwarding [email protected] to a newly setup email box for that domain, and forwarding [email protected] to a newly created email box for the second domain.

If that doesn't work (I don't have time to study exim.conf right now to see if it does or not), then you'll either need to write a custom configuration for exim.conf, treating admin as a special case, or move the domains to individual users; if you do that, then you can set up email boxes for admin at each user, as a virtual email address.
