Adding accounts to Maia

Hi there,

Yes, I've read:
http
://www.maiamailguard.com/maia/wiki/Addresses

I have Postfix configured to do the rewriting after
amavisd-maia, so 
mail comes in and is scanned and delivered properly. I'm
having no 
issues populating spam or ham caches, that's working just
fine.

I'm using pop authentication. My problem is when I add an
account to 
Maia. Say I add "spamdomain.com", maia
creates the account with the 
user "spam". What if the username is actually
"spam123" ?

On an older (rc4) copy of maia there was a little hack
posted on the 
mailing list to have it query a sql table to get the proper
username. Is 
this still the only way to gain this functionality?

Will there ever be an option in maia so that when you add an
email 
address there's also a box for the username?

Thanks,

- Darren

I had the same problem, where I had multiple aliases
(Different e-mail
addresses) for one user account.  So, I would have user
spamdomain.com,
and he would receive email at spam1234domain.com, the same issue
I
believe you have run into. An easy way to fix this is to
create the user
account "spam" then link the alias spam1234domain.com to that user
account. So, when you use pop3 to authenticate they just
type in there
user name spamdomain.com then they see that their
account is filtering
spam for their email address spam1234domain.com.

To do this do the following:
1. Create the account the user will log in as, in this case
spamdomian.com
2. Logged in as an Admin, go to Admin Settings>Users
3. In the box "Add New Email Address/Alias enter the
email address the
user will receive email for, i.e. spam1234domain.com, then click add.
4. Now you just have to link the two together. Again, go to
the Admin
Settings>Users page.
5. In the Link E-mail Addresses/Alias section, select
spam1234domain.com for the E-mail Address/alias
6. Select the User account spamdomain.com for the User
account section.
Click Link Email addresses/alias button.

Now, when the user logs in using spamdomain.com and goes to the
Settings page, they will see two addresses listed, spamdomain.com and
spam1234domain.com

Hope this works for you.
