As for user name length, I did several tests the past few years with
Debian Linux (and some BSDs) with long user names. I have had usernames

Hi Jeremy
Sorry but I'm using standard sendmail and qpopper. The stickhost and virtusertable
'features' have been around for a while. I've been using this setup since
1996 with great success.

You must have some special customized sendmail and qpopper, because they
do not support that in first place (unless maybe the email address is

It's actually very easy to do virtual users with standard unix users,
I use sendmail with feature 'stickyhost'

That's different; I mean POP3 user != unix user != email address.
That is, you use *two* mappings tables, to also separate POP3 users from
Unix users (m
Thanks
However I have been running virtual email where user != email address for
some time.
I have a new client that is currently using a setup of full email address
including '@' as the user name. I have modified my system to handle this
with the 32 char limitation.
Is there a way to ove

The easiest way to do that is to move to a setup where pop3 users !=
unix users.
The conceptual way to do this is to have all mboxes/maildirs
sendmail and qpopper.
so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a total different user than [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a new client that wants to use their original email setups that use
the full email address for pop3. Not sure what system the used to use (NT)
but their usernames are as above. It all works

Hi again
It turns out the problem is user names that are over 32 characters. This
is why useradd worked sometimes. The escape '\@' was a red herring. I
will still use '\@' as it seems more correct but this does not fix my
problem.
Can anybody tell me if the max user name is actually my proble
