Yes, but you probably have it set to 'Automatically create email that
matches login' set to yes in main/pref/accounts...we don't wan't an email
that matches a login. We used to do it that way as well, however, when we
switched over to mySQL, we found it much easier to identify account types
when OPTI kept logins separate from emails. We allow 5 POP email addresses
per account, so we set the product IDs to allow 4 emails, giving the
customer a total of 5 (1 login, plus 4 POP's). A login is set to account
type = 1, whereas a POP email is set to account type =2, and so on. Users
with account types set to 2 can not dial in and surf the Internet. That's
how we determine whether or not it's allowed dialup access or not, I'm not
sure how everyone else does it, but for us, if a user adds an email, we have
their new database record set to an email only account type=2. So in my
earlier example if OPTI allows the user to create an identical email, that
username is now part of the logins, and part of the POP's. It's just the
way we found to work best, it may be a lot different than how others do it,
but I'm hoping that Shawn can include the option to 'not allow emails to
match logins' or something like that. Probably not to difficult to do, what
do you think Shawn?
