Now I have a customer, who needs the scenario that the usernames for Cyrus differ from the mailbox and mailaddress respectivly. For example user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx should be able to login with the username someOtherUsername. This need arises from an integration with other software-packages. Is there any possibility to make this work?
Yes, this is no different from any other alias or virtual setup that offers multiple addresses to individual users. You would handle this in the MTA. For example, I use virtual_alias_maps with Postfix, and map all addresses to the corresponding cyrus IMAP user:
abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx admin admin@xxxxxxxxxxx admin postmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx admin bob@xxxxxxxxxxx bob robert.smith@xxxxxxxxxxx bob You can also use the aliases file and other approaches. ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
