A fix which I use from Bill B (thanks Bill)

<snip>

Using an idea suggested by Kim Schulz, I have came up with this and it
works for all users:

As root, Create a copy of the virtusertable for OWM:
   cd /etc/mail
   cp virtusertable virtusertable.owm
   perl -pi -e "s/www\.//g" virtusertable.owm

Set this up as a script to run hourly from cron.

Add this line to openwebmail.conf
   virtusertable           /etc/mail/virtusertable.owm

This will remove the 'www' from everyone, no need to reset any options.

This make a copy of the virtusertable every hour which owm then uses, simple
and it works!!
