Question about Domain Settings

[Benjamin Beier]

I got a new working Mailpiler Setup on Centos7 and I am trying to figure out the best way to use it. According to the documentation you are supposed to create a user with a certain e-mail address and when you log into piler this user can view his own mails. With the group settings it is possible to give the user shared access to more e-mail address.

Is there a way to create sort of an auditor or regular user account that simply has access to any generic e-mail address of only a certain domain without actually listing those in a group?

At first I thought the domain field in the user settings fulfills that purpose, but I actually couldn't see any effect at all when adding or removing domains to that list. This was tested with a regular user account. From my understanding auditor accounts always have access to all domains and e-mail addresses by definition?

This ticket is not supposed to be a compaint or anything like that. I am just trying to figure out how the domain field works and if I actually have to list all addresses in a group I am also fine with that. Could not find any hints in the documentation, but maybe I am just not good enough at searching. :)

Thanks for creating this awesome open source product!

There aren't many options left in that area.

Well, what you ask for is some sort of multitenant feature. I started to add some to piler, but at a point I've decided to discontinue it. However, I didn't remove what already is in the product, so try setting $config['ENABLE_SAAS'] =1; in config-site.php. It should allow you to create per domain auditors.

Perhaps one day I come up with a complete multitenant version of piler, though in that case it wouldn't be open source, rather similar to nginx vs. nginx plus.

So the domain list in the user settings is just a relict from the discontinued SAAS feature and essentially can be ignored?

[Janos SUTO]

Well, not quite, but regarding your use case you might say that.
