Re: can't get vlogin plugin to use username as default From address

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I see... I didn't realize that's how vlogin worked.  I tried going to the
virtual domain URL and logging in as myemail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  This time
when I sent a message I got the From address to be
myusername@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx so we're almost there.  :)  

Should I be looking at a different plugin for this functionality?  I know
there's the virtusertable plugin that I could use just to have that login
part... but what about the autoconfiguring of the From address?

missed the part about used virtual mapping table.

I think, plugin does not save name used for login. Theoretically it can be
fixed, if plugin saves login name used for login and sets it as email
address after login is verified.
