Aliases for Sqirrelmail users

[morsta]

I´ve finally managed get webmail working with AD authentication. My challenge is that the users login name is an 8 digit number (student number), and that makes a crappy e-mail address.
I have tried loggin in as a user and added a new e-mail alias in the Suirrelmail options, but the new alias is not recognised as a valid e-mail adress by the server.
Is there any way to allow users to set their own e-mail address?

ex.
host: post.example.com
login: 85648712 gives e-mail address [email protected]
I want the user to e able to log in with 85648712, and set his e-mail address to [email protected]

A solution would make my day..

Without knowing more about your setup, it’s difficult.

On Mac OS X, Postfix stores aliases in /etc/postfix/aliases.

You could add them into there, and then issue the command newaliases to update Postfix. (I’m not sure if the postfix reload command is needed after that but it certainly doesn’t hurt to issue it after newaliases.

There are also some plugins you might want to look at as well.

But that plugin doesn’t change their email address.

But, as it says “Currently it assumes that both main account and forwarding information are held in a database such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.”

But, like I said, without more info on your setup it’s hard to point you in a good direction.
