Username vs Email address | Virtualmin

Is there a way lớn use the full tin nhắn address including the .com or .co.uk etc as the username rather than vãn the name.domain name or name@domain

This is a general annoyance and seems lớn confuse everyone that I have given tin nhắn accounts lớn.

Thanks

Howdy,

You can change the username format by going into System Settings -> Server Template -> Default -> Mail for Domain, and change "Format for usernames that include domain" lớn "user@domain".

I found the template that allows you lớn change the format but what I really want is the standard format of "[email protected]"

Anyway of forcing this or tweeking virtualmin/usermin into using this format?

Eric, is this still (2017) found in the same location? I can not find it.

Thanking you.

Well that's good lớn know but is confusing. From an user experience point of view changing "user@domain" lớn "[email protected]" would sense.

Anyway, tried it and it works. Thanks

Actually, "domain" in that context refers lớn whatever is configured in System Settings ->Virtualmin Configuration -> Default for new domains : Domain name style in username. So it actually can be just (a part of) the domain name name. :)

This option determines whether the domain name name used in usernames that contain the domain name will be the full domain name name, i.e. "virtualmin.com", just the first part, i.e. "virtualmin", or the user/group name for the domain name. By mặc định, the group name is used for new top-level servers, and the first part of the domain name is used for sub-servers.

If I changed lớn username lớn username@domain in virtualmin configuration, will it affect existing users and domains ?

To modify the tin nhắn users of existing domains, you need lớn use the function Server Configuration -> Change Domain Name : Change mailbox name suffix. The functions that Eric and mạ mentioned only apply lớn new domains/users.

I did a test on existing domains of local development machine. I tried put username (without domain) under Server Configuration -> Change Domain Name : Change mailbox name suffix, but the tin nhắn users still retain it's original username@domain

I know this is really old .... but where can I find this option now: Server Configuration -> Change Domain Name : Change mailbox name suffix.

It no longer exists in the newer version of VM. I would lượt thích lớn update all EXISTING users lớn use the new user@domain style, from the old user.domain name style.

I don't fully get what you are / have been trying lớn vì thế there. Your second screenshot implies the tin nhắn trương mục suffix was already phối lớn "username" before you changed it?

You cannot (as far as I know) use this method lớn remove the suffix, only lớn change it. What exactly are you trying lớn achieve?
