Auto Determine Host From E-mail Address

[tealnet]

Since we host multiple domains, it would be nice to have an option for the host to automatically determined from the e-mail address so users don't have to type it in. For example, if the username entered is bob@mydomain.com, the host could automatically be set to mail.mydomain.com

Would anyone else find this to be helpful?

Absolutely!

If you ran the webmail from a different server as the mail server, then yes, this would be very useful.

I currently just run a single mail server, and run the webmail on it.

Take a look here. There are several people working on something similar, to grab the domain information form the http address and add it to the user name.

I like my solution the best, of course , where I grab the header information, through it into an array, separated by periods, reverse it, then the array[0] is your tld (com, org, etc), array[1] is your next level of domain, etc.

You can grab this and then put it in the defualt host field, a crude code would be something like this

PHP Code:

$tempDomain = array_reverse(explode(".",$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']));
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://mail' . $tempDomain[1] '.' $tempDomain[0] . ':993'; 


That is almost the exact code I use to grab the username_domain

I'm posting a further question on the other thread you mention.
