@uoguelph.ca requirement
Submitted by prubhjot on March 25, 2007 - 23:12.
Is it possible to remove this from the login requirement? Or just tack it in if its missing? I'm as lazy as they come, so this would be awesome! :D

Agreed
I have mentioned this before, but I will add an extra thought to this suggestion...
Removing the full display of e-mail addresses from this site would also prevent it from becoming a spammer's dream farm.

The Student Directory is the one I'd worry about being hit by spammers. All of our emails are sitting on there, ready to be parsed into a flurry of "g3t biger viAgaRa!!!" and "H0t d@t3s w/ HOT ---Enter nationality here--- gurlz!"
... Spammers are 12 year old AOL users?
EDIT: I forgot to mention the main point of this, I got so carried away in the pseudo 1337 speak. I would also like to support the auto add on of @uoguelph.ca, if feasable. The problem is, they can only stack on so many modules, etc, before they make the server vomit all over itself. It already IDLES at 60 some odd percent, if I remember correctly.

EDIT: Fixed it, I'm a noob... I was using the less than/greater than characters for part of my comment and didn't think of the repercussions. One problem down! Now, to figure out how to log into CSA online... :P

I looked into the same thing for the CSA site, as both use the imap_auth module. The problem is that the module actually lets you set up multiple authentication realms, and determines what realm to use based on your email address. Modifying the actual imap_auth code would make it difficult to keep in sync with newer versions, and modifying the front end would require maintaing a patch against user.module. I think I decided the most 'correct' solution would be to implement a config option for the module along the lines of "if the user doesn't match an email address, then append the first domain" or something.
Unless the webmaster has a better idea :).
Display is in another thread somewhere.
