Anyone???

I've tried using various formats but it doesn't seem like users can access it :(

Hi Tom,

On our server the customers use name.domain, for the mailaddress name@myserver.tld the login is name.myserver, without the tld. I think this is the default username format.

Hi Leif,

I've tried name.domain, name.domain.tld, name@domain, name.hostname, etc but it just won't work :( only the main user can login and can access other users folders like with horde.

I don't have virtualmin on this server, it's a cpanel box with webmin/usermin, I wanted to allow users to login to usermin mail so they could report spam, it's the best I've seen for reporting.

Seems like using the report spam function on a cpanel box isn't available anyway :)) but I have a virtualmin box with the same login problem so I still need to resolve it.

Hi Tom,

Do you really log in to Usermin (20000), because I don't think you can access other users folder from Usermin, but I can be wrong here. I allways log in to Webmin (10000) when reading/managing other users and folders, as the root user or as the domain owner.

Yes as the domain owner you can view all users folders in usermin but that's not a problem.
The problem is a user can't login to read their own mail in usermin.

Hi Tom,

I'm using Virtualmin Pro and if I log in to Usermin (https://www. mydomain. tld:20000) as the domain owner I still just see the owners folders and mail. I have to log in to Webmin (https://www. mydomain. tld:10000) as root or domain owner to see the other users folders and mail. Ordinary mail users dont't have access to webmin (port 10000).

Maybee there are differences it the versions, but I allways thougth that Usermin(port 20000) could ONLY manage the logged in users folders and mail, even if it's the domain owner who logs in. That was why I was thinking that you maybee did log in to webmin instead of usermin.

Hopefully Joe can solve this for you.

Regards,
Leif
