That way with MySQL tricks I might be able to see if the master user is master for that particular login user. That way I can give domain owners or owners of multiple domains the ability to manage the email accounts within their scope of permission.

Hi Timo,

I don't think it's working. I tried this query:

password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users 
WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1' AND 
'%d'='%{login_domain}'

It didn't work. However this did:

password_query = SELECT user_name, domain_name, password FROM users 
WHERE user_name = '%n' AND domain_name = '%d' AND owns_domain='1'

But that doesn't test the '%d'='%{login_domain}' part.

Am I missing something.

I should have been testing 2.0 earlier.
