Virtual Domains and Email
« on: June 11, 2002, 11:56:43 AM »
Hi All,

Just to clarify, is it the case, that you cannot seperate your email from your virtual accounts, and as such, there is no way to have seperate user accounts for a given subdomain.
How does one keep the email seperate from someone that has the same name in another virtual domain hosted on the same server?
Currently I recieve email sent to tony@adb-consulting.com (virtual domain) to tony@turbotony.com (primary) mailbox, is this the intended result?
I guess that it's beyond the original scope of this product to have it become a web hosting platform, but it would be nice to be able to have access to virtual domains email via webmail.
Anyone know of a way?

Email is directed to the user account, no matter which domain it was sent to (by default).  There is a HowTo at myezserver.com to break this apart so info@domain.com with go to user1 and info@domain2.com will go to user2.  Head over to myezserver.com and hunt it down.

Thanks Terry !!
I found the how-to, looks like that will do the trick.

I followed the HOWTO verbatim, and the aliases are appearing in the /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file, but the e-mails are not appearing in the appropriate recipient mailbox.

i.e. telling it to send all e-mail to whatever.com to user account somebody, and sending an email to blah@whatever.com, the e-mail does not appear in the recipents mailbox.

Further, a specific address decleration doesn't function either.

Is there an extra step the HOWTO misses?
