I find a severe limitation related to username due to django. You can test it if you create a mailbox like this:

elisabethvazquez@arcosmedic.com

I just checked inside Django's source code, you're right this field is limited to 30 characters... By the way, there are some validation problems in 0.8.2 when you create a new mailbox. What do you put inside the address field? elisabethvazquez@arcosmedic.com or just elisabethvazquez?

If you tried with the first one, just try with the other one, I think it will pass.

I'm trying to reproduce this problem with the last development code but without success, it is working pretty well...

OMG! The size limit is not understood by sqlite3, this is why I can't reproduce the problem. Indeed, with PostgreSQL an exception is raised :p

I'm going to check that.

I think I've got a solution. This limitation seems to be a big problem for a while and django core developers are not going to change that before 1.4!

As I'm not using default forms provided by django and that I'm creating users myself, I can easily add a migration to the admin component that will increase default fields size (username and email for example).
