[imp] (no subject)

[Chris Meisinger]

I should probably be a bit clearer.  I'm trying to fill in the
mail_domain from what is specified in the 'Domain' field when the client
logs in.  This box serves as a portal for virtual hosting clients to
check their mail.  There's not a set list of domains, to pull from, or
anything of the like.   Right now, if a user were to sign in with just
username, pw and domain (as opposed to username at domainname.com for the
username) and send mail, it uses the 'example.com' maildomain.  I've
blanked that, so now it's just 'username@' which of course bounces just
like username at example.com did.

I hope this helps clear up things a bit.

Chris

To be honest, I'm not completely sure how to go about doing this.  In a
nutshell, I'd like to be able to use the servername declared @ login (or
domain name) to be used as the from address if the user only enters a
username and not a full email address at login.

I'm not a PHP coder, although I can stumble my way through it.   I'm at
this juncture because I upgraded a legacy horde/IMP server to current
and it appears this action has changed. (I'm not sure if there was
custom code applied to the old IMP server so I don't even know if that
was default behavior)

Thank you VERY much for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

Chris

I think you are looking for the "from_addr" hook.  In it, you can set
the 
email address of the user to whatever you want, from any source you can 
code it for.
