[cobalt-users] Boring I know but... Openwebmail and removing www for email address, can anyone help!

[Charles Teton <info@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Webmail and Bassi-MailScanner-3.21-1.pkg seems to be working great together,
especially with the extra spam filters in webmail.

The only thing really left is to remove the 'www' from the email address.

I'm afraid I being a bit thick... The instructions are below but I can't
seem to get my head around them,too making unix nights maybe... Could anyone
explain how to do it a bit clearer.

Subject: Virtual Domains on RAQ -How to set up

There have been a few posts recently about handling multiple domains on RAQ
and getting default emails to lose the http://www. Here is how to do it.

Use latest current relase of OWM (now available as a pkg)

in openwebmail.conf set allowed domains as follows:
allowed_serverdomain mydomain.com, yourdomain.com
(put here a list of each virtual domain that you allow to use OWM
 remembering to prefix with www)

for each domain create a copy of openwebmail.conf in
'/home/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/sites.conf'
with the file name set the same as your virtual domain
(example mydomain.com prefixed with www)

in each of these files, add or edit line:
domainnames mydomain.com
(do not use www)

Set up in this way, only allowed_serverdomains can use webmail and default
users mail on first use will become user@xxxxxxxxxxxx

I have this setup and it works correctly

There is no need to do any editing of the virtual user table and I would
advise against this unless you are careful becasue it can screw up other
parts of sendmail.

Many thanks as always.
