I have configured dovecot and postfix...Email server works fine.. (Webmail and outlook both works..) I have created users using unix command ..
usreadd -s /sbin/nologin myuser
But i have a concern, if i want to login to webmail or outlook I have to use myuser instead of [email protected].
For the time being im using, only user name as below..
If i use [email protected] it says its invalid user both webmail and outlook..
I tried googling .. no luck.. yet.. kindly some one please shed a light..
10-master.conf is
#default_process_limit = 100

# intended to catch and kill processes that leak memory before they eat up
# everything.

all what i had to do was edit 10-auth.conf and uncomment auth_username_format and add %n.. That fixed my issue..
