Several Mail Domains on single server
« on: July 05, 2006, 04:25:02 PM »
I would like to run a mail server that will host several domains.  There will be no other ISP relaying mail for me, so internet hosts must be able to create an SMTP session directly to this server.  Is this type of configuration possable SME 7.0?

Yep, that's exactly how it works.

Just make sure that MX records in the external/public DNS servers points to your server and your server is configured with primary and virtual domains that you want to receive e-mail for.

Thanks.  This will be much easier then trying to harden a Fedora build and then doing a "qmail rocks" intall.

just make sure that you setup the mail client correctly.  you will have to setup pop over ssl and smtp over ssl; ie ports 465 and 995.

hth & goodluck

You will also most likely need to configure the pseudonyms panel for same/different users at different domains eg
john@domain1 > john (this will happen by default)
john@domain2 > john2
fred@domain3 > fred3
fred@domain4 > fred4
etc etc
