Hi,

Thanks for the reply.... It turns out the problem is that courier does not do ANY query if the default domain value is not set, and there is no @ symbol in the username.... All I had to do was set the default domain and it all worked nicely. I haven't checked the change files to see if this bug has been fixed in recent releases.

Cheers, Andrew.

Hi All -

As a work-around for the problems with using the @ symbol in some old version of netscape, Eudora, etc - I have seen some service providers use the $ symbols in place of @ (eg user$domain). I have tested this, and courier rejects it without evening doing the mysql query.... Is there a way around this?

This is what I do to allow user%domain logins. There are other ways, I'm sure.
