Use same e-mail name on multible domains

Hiya.

I would really love to be able to use admin@domain on other domains but with a seperate e-mail account, like having one for admin@domain1 and admin@domain2 in a seperate pop3/imap box/user. Hope you get what I mean :)

It would also be usefull for mailinglist, so you can have one called announcements@domain1 and announcements@domain2, beeing two different mailinglists.

If this is already possible under SME 5.5, do let me know how it can be managed.

Yours,
Mike

This was brought up in a post in another forum. The HowTo above will basically let you add pseudonyms under the virtual domain, while Mike wants admin@domain.com and admin@virtualdomain.com to be different accounts. The problem is that "admin" is an account on the system. Whether it's using domain.com or virtualdomain.com is irrelevant, it's mail for the "admin" account on the SME.

With that info, you could set up administratorguy@virtualdomain.com to point to user fred. This would let you create an admin-ish email address for the user designated as the v-domain admin...
