First post :)

I am a developer for Rhyton, a virtual webhosting provider, and we are getting ready to roll out RC on our newest virtual server platform.

Neither of the two solutions that we saw on the wiki for identifying a users' virtual host domains is sufficient for our purposes, as our server owners can have dozens of domains on the same virtual server with multiple users per virtual host domain, and adding database entries or virtualmap constraints are too onerous (or at least darned inconvenient) for our clients. -- you get the picture.

Now, as a solution (and this is what I would like to get your comments on) for this problem, we added a bit of code to the "function create" in ./program/include/rcube_user.php to get the hostname from the environment and strip out the "www.", if contained therein. It’s a tiny mod, so I won't bother posting a patch. It is at line 359:

static function create($user, $host)   {     //added by rhyton--------------------------------     $host = getenv('HTTP_HOST');     $host = preg_replace("/^www./", "", $host, "1");     //-----------------------------------------------

We have used a similar solution with OpenWebMail and Neomail in the past with no problems.

Does anyone see any issue with using this modification and if so, what?  Also, is there perhaps a better way to implement this with more complete checking?

Thank you!
