RE: [cobalt-users] POP3/IMAP Mailboxes

["Neil J. Kemp" <guyver@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sorry, but it IS true!

There is only one way to do it. Create a unique username and alias
sales@xxxxxxxxxx to it.

No unix based system (or even an NT one for that matter!) will allow
you to create two seperate users with the SAME username.

The alternative is to not use virtual hosting (more than one domain
SHARING the same server) and deploy a server to each client where they can
create whatever usernames they want, but it's not very cost effective.
