The same way as you set up accounts for the main domain.  user@domain1.com is the same as user@domain2.com; there is no distinction between the domains.

Nope, I think I am going to use RedHat 7 with a separate Apache on it.  It seems to be impossible with E-Smith

I want to have the same user for different domains, but that's not possible.  For example I want a bob@domain1.com  and a bob@domain2.com  but they are not the same person.

It may not be clear but the e-smith default works this way:

bob@domain1.com = bob
bob@domain2.com = bob

My HowTo (http://www.netsourced.com/e-smith/docs/vdomain-alias-howto.html) works this way:

bob@domain1.com = any_user_ you_want
bob@domain2.com = any_user_you_want

Hope this helps,

Darrell

As far as I see from the HOWTO, if I use the howto to make bob@domain2.com go to the user fred, any mail send to fred@domain2.com will also go to that user.  Don't want that.

If you take a little initiative yourself and invest some time in researching Qmail you will see that using my How To as a guide you can do exactly what you want and just about anything you could ever imagine.

bob@domain2.com = fred
fred@domain2.com = any_user_you_want

Try starting your research at www.qmail.org
