POP3 Account Without @yourdomain.com in username

[Cre8ion.Lab]

I have just installed DirectAdmin 1.24.4 on FreeBSD.

Our old MailServer has POP3 logins, only a name, so, without @yourdomain.com.

When you create a POP3 Account in DirectAdmin, it places @yourdomain.com after your name, e.g.:
i create a user someuser; the login for pop3 will be '[email protected]'. how can i delete @yourdomain.com out of the user name when i create it?

Thanks for help...

DA has two types of mail accounts, "real" accounts and "virtual" accounts. "real" accounts use the same login as the DA user account, so if you create a DA user "bob", you can send email to bob@ all the domains that bob owns. Bob will log in to both DA and pop/imap using "bob" as the login without a domain.

Bob can also make pop3 accounts for any domain that he owns. So, if owns domain1.com and domain2.com, he can create "[email protected]" and "[email protected]" and these are two totally separate email accounts.

There is no way to allow "joe" to login to the mail server without the domain attached, because the system would have no idea if you are joe@ domain1 or domain2. Further, if you have a DA account called "joe", then "joe" is actually a totally different email account than joe@domain1 or joe@domain2.

You see the issue.

If you're only going to host a single domain on the server, it is probably possible to override this behavior, but the modifications necessary would not be trivial.

How i want to do:

I have an unique mail account username:
companyname01
and / or
companyname02

And several Forwarders:
[email protected] -> companyname01
[email protected] -> companyname02
[email protected] -> companyname02

So company users can login with companyname01 or companyname02 as username for pop accounts.

So when i send an email to [email protected], the mailsystem knows that the mail belongs to companyname02.

This is exactly like the Virtual Mail System of Postfix.
Sorry, don't have any experience with Exim / VM-Pop3d... always worked and played with Postfix....

DirectAdmin is a webhosting control panel and manages virtual domains the way it does.

One of the things it does is allows differentiation between [email protected] and [email protected], which otherwise you couldn't do using the configuration example you're questioning.

You can do it yourself by making major custom changes to the local delivery part of exim.conf, but if you don't have experience this isn't going to be easy.

Are you running your own server?

If you're using a hosting account on a shared server you're not going to be able to do it. If you're using your own server with one domain you probably will get a lot more flexibility not using DA.

I am running my own server. not with only one domain. with several hundreds of domains and users.... coming.
