heres my setup: I setup a virtural domain with the name domain1.com as a test
i set the users to accept forwarding mail and local to the address domain1.com
then i went into my e-smith box and ran this setup
Step 1- Virtual Domain Set-up:
Use the e-smith-manager, Virtual domain panel to set-up the virtual domain, domain1.com. Instructions are found in the user manual.
Step 2 - Create your user:
Use the e-smith-manager, User accounts panel to set-up the user fred. Instructions are found in the user manual.
Step 3 - Create users .qmail-default:
In the users home directory, /home/e-smith/files/users/fred create a file named qmail-default containing only one line, the users name, fred.
pico /home/e-smith/files/users/fred/.qmail-default
- add the one word fred
- save the file
Step 4 - Set the ownership and rights on .qmail-default to the user only:
chown fred:fred /home/e-smith/files/users/fred/.qmail-default
chmod 644 /home/e-smith/files/users/fred/.qmail-default
Step 5 - Create a templates-custom fragment:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains
pico /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains/90aliases
In this 90aliases file enter all your virtual aliases in the form alias:username. In the example below info@domain1.com is to go to user fred.
info@domain1.com:fred
If you want all domain mail going into one account, enter your virtual alias in the form
domain:username. In the example below domain1.com:fred sends all @domain1.com
mail to user fred.
domain1.com:fred
Step 6 - Save the file above and execute a console-save:
/sbin/signal-event console-save
This recreates the file var/qmail/control/virtualdomains with the above alias entries preceeding the domain entries.
Step 7 - Restart Qmail:
Issue the command
killall -HUP qmail-send
to restart qmail and re-read in the updated var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file.
killall -HUP qmail-send
or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail.init restart Step 8 - Test the above virtual aliases:Send an e-mail to info@domain1.com to test that it is received by the qmail server without error and reach the intended recipient (fred) mailbox
alright now i have registered the domain name and when i goto compose a message wherer it says "from" it give the name of my primary domain and not the virtual domain also when i send an e-mail to my outlook i get this message
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at tophat.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<
www.domain1.com@e-smith.tophat.com>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
