<p class="MsoNormal">I use the usernames and not full addresses, and it just means you need to have a plan, although when someone moves from another host that does use the full email address, it does create some teething issues at first but you soon learn how
to get around most things, like as they are changing hosts they will also be best to change passwords anyway, so a change of username would also be advisable
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">9and most email applications do it in the same spot), especially if they changed hosts due to a data breach (which is one reason I have had customers move to my servers).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One plan to use is the field to prefix the user name, so for example
<a href="mailto:john@smith.com">john@smith.com</a> and <a href="mailto:john@doe.com">
john@doe.com</a> could have the usernames smi_john and doe_john respectively. So you do not need to suffix manually with numbers, but get the system to automatically prefix the user name, other management systems do it too, do it is not a new thing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have a look at your failed logins log via the gui, you will see most use the email address to try and brute force, or use a compromised password.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t use BlueOnyx for email, just webhosting, but we moved away from using just usernames probably 15 years ago. Hardly any email system does it that way anymore. The reason is simple, once you have user john or mary, you can’t have
another john or mary at a different domain. This is maybe OK if you are just hosting mail for your own domain, but I don’t see how that will work if you are hosting mail for multiple customer domains.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, you could have <a href="mailto:john@foo.com">john@foo.com</a> with username john, and
<a href="mailto:john@bar.com">john@bar.com</a> with username john2, but that seems very confusing.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would suggest this is not a great idea. If you have a look at failed login attempts on your server, you will notice most of them are email address formats. Combine that with many of the password breaches in the wild (unrelated to blueonyx),
it is likely that a percentage of your users have compromised accounts but they dont know it. I have seen attacks using these compromised lists… but the fact that our email systems dont use email address for login has more than likely prevented entry by the
bad actors.<o:p></o:p></p>
