Happy to help. You are correct that when users log into sqwebmail they
show up at your "main" domain, because they ARE all at your main domain.
That what local domains are. The email account isn't really
'user1@domain1.com', it's 'user1 on your box. And your box answers to
'domain1.com', 'domain2.com', etc. But they are all really just users
on the box.

Fortunately, unless you have explicitly denied it, sqwebmail allows you
to set the FROM address in emails you send. Click the "Create Message"
link and you'll see that the first line is the FROM: line, and you can
edit it. So your users can set it to be whatever they want.

If you want to preset this for them to avoid confusion, then in each
user's Maildir, edit (or create it if doesn't exist) the file
'sqwebmail-config' and add "FROM=user2@domain.com" (or whatever is
appropriate for this user). This will set the FROM address
automatically when they create a message. They can still change it,
however, manually. If they do, then whatever they change it to will
become the new default.

Spaces are not allowed in the "FROM=", so use "+20" in its place. So
you could set user2@domain2.com's FROM line to be

FROM=USER+20TWO+20<user2@domain2.com>

Which will show up as

From: USER TWO <user2@domain.com>

when they send an email.

This doesn't solve your problem of users seeing themselves as members of
the "main" domain instead of one of the other local domains when they
log into sqwebmail, but I don't think there's a way to change that
except to move to using hosted domains.

Enjoy!
