Thanks for the reply. I could write shell script to do it, too, but I was hoping for a more "proper" solution.

The problem is when I try to authenticate to the IMAP server using
Mozilla, it sends the user name as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
That username is not in the sasldb, so then the user cannot authenticate.

Is there anyway to fix this on the server side? I don't know if it can be
fixed in Mozilla, and even if it could be, I can't expect the users to
know how to reconfigure Mozilla.


I fixed this by writing a little shell script that I use to actually add my users to my sasldb2. It adds both the domain.tld that is specified on the command line and also adds a mail.domain.tld entry, as well. I also use this script to change passwords, when that's required, so that I don't have to manually do it for each entry.

I can send the script to you if you would like, but it's a pretty simple little hack job. :-)
