Qmail+Vpopmail Forwarding+Squirrelmail Question

Anyone know of a plugin that will read the Vpopmail forwarding list as
well as the e-mail accounts for Squirrelmail that will let people with
forwards login with the forwarding address for example if
joe-bob@mydomain.com forwards to joe@mydomain.com squirrelmail will let
joe@mydomain.com login to joe-bob@mydomain.com but will still allow
joe-bob@mydomain.com to login as well, so either or, I haven't seen a
plugin for that yet but I've seen a plugin for the virtusertable that
sendmail used which is alot different but the same concept.

I do not understand what you are asking, why would a person whose email
is being forwarded need to login into squirrelmail to check email they
know is not there?

an email sent to joe-bob@mydomain.com is delivered to joe@mydomain.com.
This email is accessible via a login from joe@mydomain.com.
You want a person to be able to login with joe-bob@mydomain.com and
access the data in joe@mydomain.com as well?

Yes, using the forward address basically, but still allowing people
without forwarding to access normally, it's because we migrated from
sendmail using a virtusertable and the mail server was setup all wrong
when I first started working on the server and their is just too many
users to switch but I want to make it easy to just use the forwarding
address to login to squirrelmail like I was doing with squirrelmail on
the sendmail server with the virtusertable plugin for it.

I take it no one is sure on my question.

Unfortunately, I do not understand answer.

Which part are you trying to correct?
From the above, it seems that your users were setup but a password was
not set.

If you are using vpopmail, why forward at all if you need the user to
use the login as the email address to which the message is addressed?

terminate the forwarding and set the virtual user and that should
resolve your issue.

You are trying to fix an error by introducing another error. My guess
will be that at some point you would advance within your firm from
managing the email setup and your replacement will be posting here a
request to introduce another error to correct the situation again to
accomodate a new requirement.
