e-mail for different virtualhost's ?
« on: September 28, 2002, 04:11:39 PM »
Hi there!

First i voud like to appolegise for my bad skils in writing english, but hope you woud trye to make sens of it :-)

Now to the question :

I have instaled the SME 5.5 server & gateway

I have about 10 virtual host on it, is there a way to make e-mail bound to the domain...
eg.
a.dk
b.dk
c.dk
.....

I mean if i create a user account called "sonny" vith first & last name "sonny pedersen" then i woud be abel to recive e-mail send to sonny.pedersen@a.dk & sonny.pedersen@b.dk and so one.... basikly i woud be abel to recive mail on ALL the virtualhost's domains, alltroug my mail box only shoud be used vith the domain a.dk, or am i totaly wrong here ?

Or saying it i an other way, i woud like to have the ability to make an e-mail acount avalibil to sonny@a.dk AND to sonny@b.dk

I have worked a littel on a debian server erlyer, ond here we "mapped" e-mail adresses to a specific user... for exampel. if there was a user called sonny on the system, we woud map @domain.dk to the account sonny, and then ALL mail sendt to this domain woud end up in this user's account.... and so one... is there a way of doing this on the SME 5.5 server ???

I hope you coud make som sens of what i just wrote :-)

It should be that way be default, as long as you have correct DNS and MX entries for your virtual hosts and you add your virtual host in the E-Smith Manager you should be able to receive mail on all virtual domains.  I know it does in Pre-5.5 and I'm pretty sure 5.5 has the same functionality.

hmm i think you misunderstood my quistion... or els i have explained it wrong...

I want to be able to have eg. a webmaster mail account for ALL my virtualhost's.. with diferent end users....

And as the 5.5 set's it up it don't seams that way to me....
