Is it possible to set the direct admin user ( account name )
to work like a standard mail account.

for example

the admin account for directadmin only requires you to login to webmail as admin
you cant login as [email protected] for which youve set your server up as.

This pose's a problem, when sending email from the webmail system logged in as only "admin" it appends what ever the hostname that you put in to firefox/ie as the trailing domain eg [email protected]

If someone replys, they will eventually get a bounce back, because @webmail.yourprimarydomainname.com doesnt recieve email as only yourprimarydomainname.com does.


I realized this can be changed in the settings of webmail to set the from address and the persons full name however this shouldnt be a manual process.

Is it possible to make that admin account login with a full email address instead of just the unix username ? Which would obviously elimate this problem.

If not, what solutions do people have in place to get rid of this head ache.

email login problem

I've got the same problem.
The users i created by the admin and who can use DA cannot login on webmail or with outlook. (username without @domain and his password)
In Webmail i get the following error:
" login error
You cannot login with the username and password entered.
Please check your username and password and try again.
-Err Bad login"

Does someone know how to solve this?

I've 1 user who has 35Mb mail and cannot read this mail or send it to another adres.
All new mail will be send to an other emailadres with a forwarder.

There are two separate issues discussed in the thread, rldev.

Which are you referring to?

We've found the best way for us to resolve the issue is to forward all email to system accounts to user accounts so we and our clients can use them the DA way.

Hi Jeff,
I was referring to being able to login with the full email address of the user account.

user account = jxlp
login for email = [email protected]
 
I realized this can be changed in the settings of webmail to set the from address and the persons full name however this shouldnt be a manual process.

You really should set up the full name anyway instead of just using the default settings because Spamassassin scores mail that just has an email address and does not have the full name.

Does someone has a solution for this yet?
 
You probably need to increase the allowed memory usage in the php.ini file.
 
nope that is not the solution:
I still get a promt for a password.

In Webmail i get the following error:
" login error
You cannot login with the username and password entered.
Please check your username and password and try again.
-Err Bad login"

Even with outlook the same problem.
 
And what does the maillog say or wherever pop3 logins are logged for your os?
 
/var/log/maillog
"User 'gerwin' - failed auth" (outlook asked fot a password).
and if i log in DA with this username and password it works fine.
