[BlueOnyx:26549] Re: Dovecot Aliases for email username?

[Greg Kuhnert]

Hmm. Not happy with Microsoft on this one. Attacks against a known username make it easier to compromise an account. Lets assume a percentage of BX users out there have the same password on BX as something else, and the something else has had a breach. Right now, they cant get into mail because of the fact of the different username. If this change happens, that will disappear.

At the very least, it should be opt in… Just saying.

I happen to be Goggling the issue and found a page about Dovecot aliases and it occurred to me that this might be doable on BlueOnyx. You already have a place for the prefered email alias in the GUI so that auto-replies are sent from that address. Would it be possible to use that info to also populate a dovecot alias?
