Very serious problem with e-mail accounts!

[frej]

SPECIFICATIONS:
Plesk 7.5.1
Red Hat Enterprise 3
Webmail client – SquirrelMail version 1.4.3a-7.EL3

PROBLEM:
1.)
When USER-A login to www.domain.com/webmail – username: [email protected] everything is OK, USER-A is able to login to read and compose messages.

2.)
When USER-A login to www.domain.com/webmail - username: test
everything is OK, BUT, when USER-A tries to compose a message and send it, this message is sent from USER-B’s account.

I have only seen this problem with one user/account on the server, but I think it is a bit disturbing, especially if it where to happened to other users/accounts.

Have any one come across this problem before?


Thank you!
Regards
Frej

With Squirrelmail you should always log in with the full email address as the username or you will have problems... that's been my experience anyway.

thanks,

Yeah I know, but it seems customers forget this sometimes ..

Here's what I did...

I edited the login.php file in squirrelmail to add text that users should use their full email address. I also added some javascript to ensure that they entered the domain part (i.e. @domain.com) in the username field.

It's a pain, but it works.

would you mind sharing the javascript code?

Check out the vlogin plugin for SquirrelMail. That may help solve the problem.
