Hello,

Have you tried using a dot in the user loginname, like : user.username

also, if you need to have an email address wich is longer than 8 chars,
you can setup an alias for the email, wich rechieves the email and 
directs it to the appropriate user email box.

/etc/aliases

is the file you should be editing.
