[BlueOnyx:05585] Re: Sending mail from the webmail : bad senderaddress

[David Booth]

In /var/lib/squirrelmail/prefs there is a .pref for each user.

Write something that will create that for all users.
And something else to do each time you add a user.

On a new server you could install Openwebmail instead of Squirrelmail however on a existing box it would be as much work since the mailbox formats are slightly different a,

How about the commercial Roundcube package?

  That seems strange to me... Is it a sendmail limitation ?
  I work also with a panel called ISPConfig, using Postfix as mail server.
  I don't have to configure the webmail : the user logged in has
  automatically the right sender address.

  Tell each user to individually configure that sort of thing is terribly
  heavy ! On a server which ca server several dozen of users ? No, I can't
  believe that.
  Is it something to try to improve it ? For example, like ISPConfig, if
  the user could login with his email address instead of just his login,
  the webmail could reuse this email ?

  Thanks for suggestions, I'd like to try to solve that. Maybe it can be
  useful for others ?
