My apologizes, I replied to thread in the Gname archives.

Because I don't want the list of domains you can read email from to be 
"public".  I want to tell the appropriate students and faculty members 
without displaying a choice to the "uninitiated"  (The majority of our 
campus population doesn't need the option, I don't want to get into the 
potential battle of "Why do you provide webmail access for foo.uwp.edu, 
and not my system?")

I think my questions have global relevance.  The example vinfo hook only 
talks about reworking the user name for preferences, it doesn't show an 
example of monkeying with the imap login name or any of the other 
parameters.  If we knew what user and mail server variables we had 
access to in the vinfo hook, it would be helpful.

Steve.
