POP3 Email - Invalid Username

[res00186]

I am a "reseller" on ProWebSpace and currently evaluating their application of DirectAdmin.

In working with a "User" domain, I attempted to setup several POP3 email accounts. The first one was established without a hitch.

The second was to be "Postmaster@xxxxxxx.com." We use the "Postmaster" account as a catchall. Result:

Error creating account
Details
Invalid Username

If "Postmaster" is a restricted name, why? ... or otherwise please reconcile.

If there is a list invalid usernames, how due I monitor / adjust.

Thank you ... res00186

i think* postmaster is setup on all accounts as default but, IM NOT SURE, i know with ensim a few usernames are taken as default.

It's the capital letters.
Emails are restricted to lowercase.

The capital "P" in Postmaster was indeed the culprit. Thank you for the assistance ... and I think the recommendation for auto caps (internal) conversion is a good one ... res00186
