Authenticating to POP/IMAP as full email address

I'd like to be able to have users authenticate to Cyrus with their full email address rather than a standard username.
I have the Mail Service configured to do Postfix style virtual aliases as per the referenced tutorial.
When I create a user in WGM, I'm creating two short names:
localserver1joe
[email protected]
This allows me to authenticate as either name -- including with Cyrus.
However, when I check mail with Cyrus, it creates a 2nd mailbox of "joe@server1^local" while all mail is being delivered to the original mailbox, "localserver1joe".
Further, if I use the CLI and dscl, I can create a user having a first short name of [email protected] (you cannot use special characters in the WGM for the short name). So the order of the short names are:
[email protected]
localserver1joe
But by doing this, I get a Postfix error of "Mailbox does not exist" (relay=cyrus). Once I reverse the short names, I'm back to the situation at the beginning of this post.
Is there a way to do this?

Looks like it's a POP3 only problem. I tried Mail.app and Thunderbird and both worked fine using IMAP -- I could log in with [email protected] and it read from the localserver1joe mailbox.
I created a symlink from /var/spool/imap/users/localserver1joe to /var/spool/imap/users/joe@server1^local. POP3 worked with Thunderbird, but Mail.app did not like that trick.
ugh... so close to everything working.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Tracking MMP vdmap users not supplying full email address?

We're using MMP 5.1 and using the vdmap feature to assign a default domain to users who do not supply one. We'd like to move everyone to using their full email address, but need to figure out which customers aren't.
Does anyone know of a way -- other than raw packet capture -- to determine which users are having a domain appended, and which ones are using a fully-qualified email address? I tried increasing "LogLevel" in both AService.cfg and PopProxyAService.cfg to 9, and got a lot of output, but no information on which users are having their domain-name appended.
Our vdmap.cfg configurations are similar ot the following:
vdmap example net 192.168.254.1
example.net:VDomain example.net
example.net:SearchFormat "uid=%U"
example.net:ReplayFormat %[email protected]
vdmap example com 192.168.254.2
example.com:VDomain example.com
example.com:SearchFormat "uid=%U"
example.com:ReplayFormat %[email protected]
In this way, if a user is configured to pop from .1, and do not supply a full email address, '@example.net' is appended to their username before being passed to the back-end iMS servers. If someone pops from .2, '@example.com' is appended.

Hi,
I had a play around with vdmap.cfg and couldn't see any record either of whether the user provided the fully qualified email address or just the UID. This sounds like a desirable feature that I would recommend logging a Sun support call for (log an RFE - request for enhancement).
The only thing is that any improvements which would provide this feature (in the log files perhaps) will only be made to the 6.X release so you would still have to upgrade to 6 even if this feature was implemented.

Shane.

Mac Mail displays full email addresses instead of contact name

I use the Mail application on my MacBook for managing multiple email accounts and use the Contacts application to manage my address book (self explanatory).
For example: I have saved PayPal's email address ([email protected]) into my address book as "PayPay" because of the high number of emails I receive from them. In Mail, each email I have received is displaying the full email address of the sender, rather than their address book name (whether it be a company or friend/relative) and this is making it to spot senders while scrolling.
Is there a setting where if the email address is in the Contacts app, the name of that particular contact appears rather than the full address?

whether your number or email address is desplayed depends on how you have Caller ID set.
Settings -> Messages ->Receive At ->Caller ID (chose what you want displayed)

Hi Sunny C,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:
Mail (Yosemite): Set Mail preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19178
In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
Also, check the View command on the Menu bar. View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.
Cheers,
Judy

Does Authenticated SMTP Ensure that the Sender Email Address Matches the Username/password Entered?

Does Authenticated SMTP ensure that the sender email address
matches the username/password entered?
<P>
Not by default. However, in netscape.mail.conf, you can set
RewriteFromUsingAuth and/or RewriteSenderUsingAuth to "Yes"
which will rewrite the header "From:" and/or "Sender:" to be
the authenticated sender of the message.
<P>
On NT, the keys are in the registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Netscape\Messaging Server\3.0\Dispatch\Config

I found the answer.
Apple has turned on an app-specific password for iPhoto and other Apple apps. It's located in the Apple ID management section under Passwords and Security.
As soon as I entered that new generated password in iPhoto I was able to send a pic with my iCloud.com email address.
Now I know where to go. Thanks for your help.

New message address shows the Name but not full email address

The email To: will show the name eg John Doe but not the full description [email protected] If I click on the tab by the name I will see the full email address referenced. If mail sees just the name it sometimes says John Doe does not appear to be a valid email. If I send an email to myself at other email accts I have (aol for example) the mail does arrive. I think this may be related to address book but not sure. If I enter a new email in the TO in a new message It keeps the entire email address, I think. Anyway just want some feedback about this since thee is a degree of uncertainty here

mail will indeed draw from address book's contacts. if you have in mail>preferences>viewing the option "use smart addresses" checked, then the name of the contact will be displayed in the to/from... fields and you can see the full email address when selecting the tab next to the name. so that is normal behavior. if you enter a new email address for which you do not have a contact card created in address book, then that will remain as an email address in the field you entered it to. you would have to create a card in address book, add that email address, and then the name of the contact would appear in an email field rather than only the email address.
hope this helps

Full Email Address Header for Viruses and Spam?

I have been googling all day and trying to find out a method to display the full email header to display on the iPhone.
Most email clients (both web based and program based) have a method by which you can view the "original" message or the email header information. In the original message viewing one is able to see the entire mail header.
Most of already know that a person can send an email from an email server and pretend to be anybody they want. They populate the "name" the "pretend email address" it is coming from, the same address as the "reply to" (so it looks legit) and so forth. What the email header also contains, which I am not able to see on the iPhone is where the email was actually sent from (the email server it originated from) which is KEY to identifying and dealing with spam/virus types of email.
In the world of spam and virus laden emails, I have yet to find a way to display this information using the iPhone.
As a prime example..... There is a trojan virus out there saying facebook has changed your password and for you to open their .zip file for your new password. You can click on the FROM address contact link (showing the sender is "The Team" in the iPhone email client and it will open up the information it has in a contact type window. In the example mentioned above, if you do this it just says it is coming from "The Facebook Team" and show an email address of: [email protected]. Seeing this information one must automatically assume the email is legit right??? Of course it isn't. The people sending out the email just put that information in there to make it appear as if it is a legit email from a legit person/organization/company. However if one can actually see the email header itself one would easily be able to see the email's origination server/email-server did not come from facebook itself.(therefore automatic spam)
To help protect spam and potential virus laden emails from appearing to be coming from some "so-called valid email address" a method is needed in order to verify/validate who is actually sending the email itself so as to effectively and accurately identify these types of email and aid in the reporting of these emails to the appropriate organizations directly on our iPhones.
Is there any way to view the full email content header on mails received from other accounts on our iPhone to deal with spam/virus related emails we receive on our iPhones via Push? Or are we to have to wait and launch our email client in order to handle this (seems silly to have to need a computer to handle this as the iPhone is a computer is many aspects running a real operating system)?
Thanks in Advance for any replies.

To my knowledge there is no way to get message headers or source in the iPhone’s mail application. Because of apple's restrictions on third party apps, I doubt you'll see an app that does this as well. As tedious as it is, using Safari is your only choice.
You can make suggestions to apple here:

Setting to show full email address

I am looking for a setting that will do either:
1. Show the full 'from' email address in the native ios email app by default, rather than just showing an alias. Instead of seeing "From: John Doe" it would show
"From: [email protected]"
or
2. Mark/highlight emails not from our domain. Similar to the "Mark addresses" setting which highlights outgoing email addresses if they are not in a qualified domain. I would like to be able to mark/highlight incoming emails not from our domain.
The reason being, to make identifying spam/phishing emails easier for our less technically inclined employees.

You're going to need to use a third party mail app. Mymail for example allows you to add filters and would allow you to separate emails from your domain and move them automatically to a folder which you specify. Of what I know, the native mail app does not have either of these two capabilities and what you see within the mail section in settings, is all you get.

Show full email address in Mail?

Just upgraded to a new rMBP. In Mail, the reading pane, I would like the "From:" line to display the user's email address, along with their "friendly name" (which is the only thing displayed now, unless I click on it to get a dropdown menu with the actual email address). Any way to do that? Thanks much.

How can I see the full email address of whoever has sent me a message without opening it?

I am new to mac and used to viewing email addresses without opening messages. Can't this be done in Mail in OS X mountain lion? Thanks.

How do I copy the full email address including the name (in the "First Last email@server.tld " format)?

Right-click menu gives me the address itself, [email protected], but I would like to get the full thing without going back and manually copying the name.

How would I do that? If I right-click on an e-mail address in firefox I have
a) copy e-mail address (which does not do what I want), b) inspect, c) inspect with firebug. Nothing about and addressbook.
And I don't want to add the address to some addressbook, I just want to paste it into another window, let's say a field in a bug report I have open.

How do I set up two email address on the same account?

Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
Is there a way?
Thanks for any help.

After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
Thanks again for all the inputs.
Allan
