What I am looking to do is to make Squirrelmail accept the login of localuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as well as the virtual addresses they create. Currently the local user email account only works if they leave off the domain for example: USername: localuser pass: fdsfsrwer When they create an email address via cPanel they have to use the full email address to login for example: username: virtualemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx password: rhewjrkwhe >> >> I have them use the full email address as the webmail login page for >> all >> > >> > Hrm, how do you have someone use an email address as a page URL?

If Vlogin can help me alias the webmail so all the users can use their own domains I have no problem with that, the only reason I have it setup like this is the cPanels setup had /webmail redirect to the cPanel version of Squirrelmail which is disabled, so the user would just get a blank page. I'll check Vlogin out and see what it can do for me as it sounds like it might allow me to make my setup a bit more efficient. >> >> user accounts is on my main site, and is the only way they can login >> to >> >> their webmail so Vlogin wouldn't work at all.

I know i'm on the asking end of the stick here and if i'm missing some information its just as easy to as for the needed information if your desire is to provide assitance. -- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting Guidelines: http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/MailingListPostingGuidelines List Address: squirrelmail-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx List Archives: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
