[imp] Virtual hosting questions..

[Edwin Culp]

Quoting Chad Day <cday@atpco.com>:

| Ok, after a lot of banging away, I think I finally got the virtual hosting
| working, but I have some questions.
| 
| I don't have the vinfo hook on .. when I tried to turn it on, whenever a
| user would log in, there would be a delay, then they'd be kicked back to the
| login screen.  Don't know why..
| 
| My servers.php looks like:
| 
| $this_domain=substr(getenv('HTTP_HOST'),strpos(getenv('HTTP_HOST'),'.')+1);
| 
| $servers['imp'] = array(
|     'name' => 'IMAP Server',
|     'server' => $this_domain,
|     'protocol' => 'imap',
|     'port' => 143,
|     'folders' => 'mail/',
|     'namespace' => '',
|     'maildomain' => $this_domain,
|     'smtphost' => 'smtp.online-leagues.com',
|     'realm' => '',
|     'preferred' => ''
| );
| 
| It works, but I'm a ltitle concerned since everyone else seems to be using
| the vinfo hook and I am not.  Did I mess up?
| 
| So, now, people can go to mail.blahblah.com, or mail.ladeda.com, and log in
| on both, and the from addresses are correct.
| 

The following two questions are the reasons that I use vinfo and courier
IMAP with virtual domains.  

| My question is.. what if I want jsmith, who should have jsmith@blahblah.com,
| only to be able to access that?  I don't want him finding out he can log in
| to mail.ladeda.com and send out emails like jsmith@ladeda.com.
| 
| Also, what happens when I grow and have multiple jsmiths?  Say another
| different jsmith comes along, and I want to set him up with
| jsmith@otherdomain.com, but jsmith@blahblah.com is still around.  Should I
| start assigning local usernames in the format jsmith_domain, so that isn't
| an issue, and somehow alias jsmith@blahblah.com to that?  And how would that
| person log in on IMP then?
| 
| Sorry for asking these, I poured over the mailing list archives for like 2
| hours last night, which is how I got to where I am at least .. might just be
| suffering from information overload from reading all that stuff over and
| over.
| 
| Thanks,
| Chad
