Hosting Multiple Domains
« on: November 25, 2001, 07:48:01 AM »
I have seen several requests with what seems to be the opposite question…

However, I would like to know how to create multiple virtual domains such as:

Domain1.com
Domain.2.com
Domain.3.com

I would then like to have the ability to have 3 different John Smith users have the ability to enjoy the same user name. (i.e. jsmith) Currently, the default configuration assumes that jsmith would want to receive e-mail from all three domains. I on the other hand want the opportunity to let them be 3 different people. (i.e. jsmith@domain1.com , jsmith@domain2.com and jsmith@domain3.com.) I would assume that ISP’s are doing the same.

Perhaps this should be in the wishes section. But it would be nice to choose a virtual domain during user creation.

Thanks, Anyone with any  ideas…

I believe there is a how-to floating about on this subject. Search the forums or check out the how-to section of the web site.

As to making it a choice when creating a user, that is perhaps a good suggestion but it requires more work than is outlined in the how-to to "do it right." The how-to covers e-mail, but done right each user (if assigned to a specific domain) should also get their own home directory and so forth.
