not true here either ... the University that I work at, since before I
ever got there, has assigned students userids of 6 numerics followed by
one character ... first time they had a problem with that was when I moved
them to Cyrus IMAPd ... all servers ran on Solaris then, and we've been
moving to FreeBSD recently ... haven't hit any problems yet ...
I ended up modifying Cyrus IMAPd at that time so that it check for at
least one character character in the userid, instead of if the first
character is a character ...
