username@domain login name for email account with virtualmin and postfix

For IMAP and POP3 authentication, all you have to do is change the “Format for usernames that include domain” in:

Virtualmin > System Settings > Server Templates > Default Settings > Mail for Domain

to be “user@domain”.

However, Cyrus SASL, which is what handles the SMTP authentication, requires a special flag on it to handle user@domain usernames, a -r in the settings. The magical file you need to edit is /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd. At the bottom you will see the following:

Additional flags to pass to saslauthd on the command line.
See saslauthd(8) for the list of accepted flags. FLAGS=-r

Just make your FLAGS= like mine does. This will pass the -r to the sasl authentication daemon, and your user@domain authentication will work!

Let me know if you have any other questions.

When you setup domain with virtualmin, sometime you want to change after while.

eg., administrative username

modify domain(s) without re-setup entire domain(s), edit following file.

1. [root@ns99 ~]# cd /etc/webmin/virtual-server/

2. [root@ns99 virtual-server]# cat sample.local.act

change sample.local as your domain name

3. see where it says domains=117160406314152

remember number of domains.

4. [root@ns99 virtual-server]# cd domains/

5. [root@ns99 domains]# vim 117160406314152 number you find before.

6. edit and save. done!
