| this does not help at my side, as I don't have virtual domains on my 
| webserver. I really have different mailserver on (sometimes, not always) 
| different machines. That's why I would like the customer to type in 
| login@domain and not only login.
| I hope, I don't have to patch the code, as I don't have much experience with 
| php.

AFAIK, if you want to do this in servers.php, or any of the configure files,
you will have to depend on the apache/php variables such as $_SERVER because 
the configure files are included in login.php before processing.  That would
probably mean patching login.php.  Hopefully someone more qualified than I 
can give you a better solution.  An alternate login page may be an 
option.  I haven't tried that but I did see someones working source
on the list a few days ago.

Sorry,

ed
