Re: [cobalt-developers] Cobalt Raq4 email account question

["Laurent TASTET" <ltastet@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This feature isn't supported by cobalts by users are stored in the
passwd/shadow files, and must be unique ...

to easily manage account, I 've set up a rule explained below :

I've based my account rules on domain names or company name  (using 2 or 3
chars from domain, initials ...etc)  to manage my raqs , and let people
manage their account. I just ask them to add 3 chars at the end of the
account name :

for example, for the user "john smith" for the domain foo.com, I create an
account names jsmith_fo

if I've a second domain, named mydomain.com, and a user is named john smith,
I just create a jsmith_md account
