Topic: Users issue

[Dave Wilson]

Hey there.  Can anyone please explain to me why I can't have two users named dave?  If I'm hosting several web sites then the chances are pretty good I'll have a need for more than two users named "info".  How can I arrange to have dave@davehosting.com and dave@davesiknow.com if I can't have more than one user named dave?  Thanks.

That doesn't answer my question.  That link only discusses one domain with various users.  I need various users with the same name on multiple domains.

I.E. -

bob@domain1.com
bob@domain2.com
bob@domain3.com
bob@domain4.com

All bobs would be different people.  Think about it, how many websites do you know of that have this sort of e-mail:

info@mywebsite.com

I know of a lot of sites that do.  But as long as I'm running e-smith only one site I host can have the info@mywebsite.com because I can't create an info@thatwebsite.com unless the e-mail is to go to the same person.

Now, through my babbling here I've become aware of just how that link MIGHT be able to help me.  However it is still not a good solution because if I forward an e-mail sent to info@mywebsite.com to user Dave, when Dave sends his reply it will have his e-mail address and not the info@mywebsite.com address.

Or am I still missing something somehow?

Thanks.

If you sort this out, please let me know.

I still host my web site's mail on NT as I have a mail server there than can do this.

Cheers.
