Virtual domains and mail accounts
« on: June 13, 2002, 02:48:20 PM »
using E-Smith as webserver is great but i have one problem...

when i have created a domain name say: mydomain.com
and another domain owned by someone else say:  yourdomain.com

the owner of yourdomain.com has one mail adr. and would like to create lets say 25 more mail adr. for his domain and also have access to statistics for his domain.

could this be done in some fancy way through a web interface ????


hope that someone can answer this !

their is a contributed howto that explains how to do this
the contributed howto link is off e-smith.org

the log analiser panel will give you statistics

i'm writting a panel that could be modified to make managing virtual domain email addresses easier

write offlist if your interested, or visit
dungog.net/sme for background

to be sure that you know what i mean here comes an explanation:

i need a userlogin @ lets say    https://mydomain.com/domain-admin
from here the owner of  yourdomain.com should be able to login to administrate his /her own domain like changing  e-mail adresses looking at stats and mayby even creating subdomains for his or her domain...


this is a need due to the fact that i'm hosting some websites and i belive that it would be great to have such features.

best regards

yes !
exactly why i've been asked to look at it
https://mydomain.com/domain-admin is a great idea
i was thinking it had to be via an external interface that the client had handy
this is turning into a bigger job than i first thought,
i'll build the email interface via the server-manager first
