Topic: How to add virtual mail-domain

[Jochen Hoegerl]

How can I just add a virtual Mail-Domain to my e.smith box. No other services needed (http, ftp,....) these are hosted elsewhere.

This is clearly explained in the on-line manual.  Just add the domain in the e-smith-manager and your set. If you also require virtual e-mail aliases, like info@domain1.com and info@domain2.com follow this HowTo:

Not for me, or for what I want do or at least my English is too bad.

Maybe I should point out more clear what I want to do.

My ISP is hosting my website and the company popbox.

Let's call the domain www.internetdom.com.

I set my e-smith box up to be xxx.internetdom.local.

Now I have a problem: If I leave the settings as above fetchmail complains
about nonexisting users and forwards everything to admin.

If I use the web-manager and set up a virt. domain internetdom.com,
fetchmail stopps complaining but I can't view my website anymore nor
upload files via ftp.

All I need is a solution to keep my domain xxx.internetdom.local and stop
fetchmail complaining.

Jochen,

Supposed you are running E-smith ver. 4.1.x, I would try the following:
(This means you won't need a virtual domain at all!)

Set your local domain to be "internetdom.com" (don't worry about access to www.internetdom.com at that stage). So all your internal PC names will be like "pc-000xx.internetdomain.com", the server might be "srv1.internetdomain.com".

At that stage if you try to open the website "www.internetdomain.com" in a browser, this will show you the contents of your "Primary" folder on your own server, not your site hosted at your provider. Fetchmail should be doing well at that stage when downloading all your emails.

Then you open The E-smith manager, go into "Hostnames and addresses" and change the entry for www (which is pointing to your own server's IP address) to the IP address of your ISP's server! Once there, I would recommend to create a new entry, maybe www2 that you point to your own server's IP so that you still can use your own server for Intranet functionality.

I hope this will solve your problem.

Michael Doerner
