[sork] vpopmail + mysql + passwd (yet another problem)

Quoting Aaron Stanford <stanford.16 at osu.edu>:

Does it log anything?

I'm not sure which versions do it, but some versions
of passwd strip the domain name from the username, so it would only submit
"user" instead of "user at domain.com".  This might be your problem.

The other problem may be that it doesn't stript the domain name, but it
would work (or work in some fashion) if it did?  So what if you enter
"user" instead of "user at domain.com" on the form?  (Note: this could be
dangerous if you have overlapping usernames within different domains).

Just some thoughts.  Someone else who uses vpopmail will probably respond
with better info than mime...
