Hello all,
I'm nearly done setting up Roundcube to be our squirrelmail replacement
product for our webmail system that runs approx 800+ email accounts.
I've added all of the necessary features via plugins such as vacation
messages, password change, and new alert sound... but there's one
problem that I am stumped on how to get around...
The email address validation for addresses in the To: field (and I'm assuming CC/BCC as well) do not permit me to type an incomplete email address; that is, just the local username for emails destined to be delivered locally. On squirrelmail, we can send email to "joe" and it will arrive in Joe's mailbox - we don't need to type the entire joe@<host>.org email address. Believe it or not, this is kind of a show stopper for us because a majority of our email (75-80%) is sent locally for inter-office communication. All of the users are used to simply typing the name because our first system (OpenVMS Mail), second system (very old iMail), and current system (Squirrelmail) all allowed us to email this way.
Some advice? I'd rather not disable all email validation if possible - I'd rather have it append the @<host>.org to any addresses not containing an @ symbol instead, specifically to append the mail_domain variable from the main.inc.php file - if someone should typo a local address, they automatically receive a response from the mailer daemon saying that the address doesn't exist, so this would really solve everything for us...
Thoughts? Discussion?
PS - Just joined the list and am looking forward to following the development and contributing where I can :-)
