question and suggestion

Questions:
1- I see a button in the user page "Update ALL
Addresses' Settings" in the
users config screen. that looks to be there for all plain
users.
What does it do?
It sounds like this will update the settings for ALL users.
will it update
domain wide? system wide? or I misread what it does.
should it only be present in the admin user and the site
admin?

2- In my system all email passes thru the amavis filter.
What happens to
email that:
    a- Does not have a domain added to mailguard?
    b- The domain is added but the user never logged in or
never created.

3- related to above (maybe). when I list all users I see the
domains
listed first... will I be able to manage emails non existing
domains from
the default domain "."? and the ones from
non existing users from the
individual domain domain.tld?

Suggestion:
It would be nice to have "Add new domain block" at
the top of the screen
so when adding several domains in a large system one does
not need to be
scrolling down every time.

also nice to have the list of all users be aligned on the
left for the
users column and sorted alpha by user and domains so all
users from a
particular domain are together.

No, it only applies to all addresses linked to that user, on
that user's screen.

Depends on if you have auto-creation turned on.

All email tries to match a userdomain, then domain,
and then the . catchall,
and will follow the directions of the first match.

By default, email that does not match a domain or address in
Maia will pass through.

Yes... sorta.  There is a catch.  You can start out with a
domain and have all
email go through it, and then hand off userdomain to
trusted people as needed.

The one exception is the ., which will only catch
items for non listed
domains/addresses if you change "Should the System
Default user (.) only catch
mail for local recipients?" in the system config to
"no" ...  *which also
catches outgoing email.*

The only way that Maia knows an address is "local"
is if there is a domain
defined or the full address is defined.   And if mail comes
in for
aexample.com, it still thinks example.com is *not*
local even if there is a
bexample.com but no aexample.com or example.com.

So the best route is to always define your domains.

the CLI tool maiadbtool.pl can add multiple domains
quickly...

That I can see being useful.
