Mail client auto-configuration. Wrong $IMAP_HOST value

When Virtualmin generates the autoconfig.cgi file, the $IMAP_HOST variable does not include the domain part. For instance:

# These variables get replaced when the script is copied
$OWNER = "";
$USER = 'domain.com';
$SMTP_HOST = 'mail.domain.com';
$SMTP_PORT = '587';
$SMTP_TYPE = 'STARTTLS';
$SMTP_SSL = 'no';
$SMTP_SSL2 = 'off';
$SMTP_ENC = 'password-cleartext';
$IMAP_HOST = 'mail.';
$IMAP_PORT = '993';
$IMAP_TYPE = 'SSL';
$IMAP_SSL = 'yes';
$IMAP_ENC = 'password-cleartext';
$PREFIX = 'domain.com';
$STYLE = '6';

Maybe I’ve something wrong in my Virtualmin configuration, but I don’t know where to look. Any clues?

This is the Thunderbird configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<clientConfig version="1.1">
  <emailProvider id="$SMTP_DOMAIN">
    <domain>$SMTP_DOMAIN</domain>
    <displayName>$OWNER</displayName>
    <displayShortName>$OWNER</displayShortName>
    <incomingServer type="imap">
      <hostname>$IMAP_HOST</hostname>
      <port>$IMAP_PORT</port>
      <socketType>$IMAP_TYPE</socketType>
      <authentication>$IMAP_ENC</authentication>
      <username>$SMTP_LOGIN</username>
    </incomingServer>
    <incomingServer type="pop3">
      <hostname>$IMAP_HOST</hostname>
      <port>$POP3_PORT</port>
      <socketType>$IMAP_TYPE</socketType>
      <authentication>$POP3_ENC</authentication>
      <username>$SMTP_LOGIN</username>
    </incomingServer>
    <outgoingServer type="smtp">
      <hostname>$SMTP_HOST</hostname>
      <port>$SMTP_PORT</port>
      <socketType>$SMTP_TYPE</socketType>
      <authentication>$SMTP_ENC</authentication>
      <username>$SMTP_LOGIN</username>
    </outgoingServer>
  </emailProvider>
</clientConfig>

And the Outlook one:

<Autodiscover xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/responseschema/2006">
  <Response xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/autodiscover/outlook/responseschema/2006a">

        <LoginName>$SMTP_LOGIN</LoginName>
      </Protocol>
    </Account>
  </Response>
</Autodiscover>

In both sections the Automatically generated option is checked.

@RobertoPastor,

Thanks.

So just to clarify, “SMTP_HOST” gets set correctly, but “IMAP_HOST” does not.

Ex.

@Ilia perhaps there’s a bug? Could you take a look, and provide some insights when you have a moment?

I believe this bug has been fixed in the upcoming Virtualmin 7.30.0 release.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies.

I’ll wait for the next Virtualmin release and test if it has been resolved.
