This is bit of a pain as the whole point of allowing the use of ‘@’ in user names was so that they didn’t need to be changed …
Any ideas would be appreciated. At some point the saslauthd daemon became stuck on a lock file and it wouldn’t authorise at all but now it seems to running ok.
D’oh! We’re back to the problem of Postfix not allowing @ in usernames. I think we can probably do a conversion in postfix and have it work…or it may be that we have to switch to Sendmail for cPanel migrated systems. I’d hate to do that, as Postfix is a nicer SMTP server in almost every regard, but it might be the only way to stick with @ in usernames.
Anyway, before we do that I’ll see if I can find a way to translate the incoming name@domain.tld format to name-domain.tld before postfix makes a decision on what to do with messages.
