Hey Steve
I have the same problem. I also signed on as Lightningfanatic. Do I have to redo mine also?

I suspect that anyone who registered for an account before the domain table was updated may have to re-register. I have tried adding several new accounts and none of them have had any problems...

steve.. still doesn't work, I'm using svt2go@lightningfanatic.com again, and I get a 550 user not defined error.

I sent email from your page to my work account, at that still works. If I hit reply or try to send a clean new message both fail with the error 550.

One last thing, and I'm not trying to be picky, just trying to give you an FYI.

On the default SIG file the email is wrong
e-mail: SVT2Go@localhost

localhost is the default, I know I could change this myself just letting you know it's wrong by default....

Question

I don't understand. I already have an email address. What do I need another one for? Why is it that if we want to contact someone on this board personally and I look at their profile under email address it says UNAVAILABLE. If we want can we post our email address or is it not wise because of spammers or what. I persoanlly have posted my email address several times and don't mind having it in my profile.

Don't sign up for one, then. That's your perrogative. More than 100 peole have signed up for a "vanity" email address so far, so obviously there is some interest.

Why is it that if we want to contact someone on this board personally and I look at their profile under email address it says UNAVAILABLE. If we want can we post our email address or is it not wise because of spammers or what.
EXACTLY! I don't want to have to deal with the hundreds of people that accuse me of selling their email addresses because of the onslaught of spam that publicly displaying your email addresses will cause! It's already happened a dozen times. If you want to post yours in a message, go right ahead.

I think I may have found the problem and I suspect that anyone that signed up for an email address using uppercase characters will be having problems...

My thought: the email application takes the literal signup form entry and writes the username, as typed, to the etc/passwd file. The mail server by default looks for an email name in all lowercase, so when it is looking for SVT2Go it is actually looking for svt2go and not finding that user. I did some testing and that appears to be the case...

The application simply calls "useradd" so if there is a way to force all lowercase (the man page did not help) before writing to the etc/passwd file, this may fix the problem...

?????
