Topic: E-mail & Domain

[Joel Thompson]

I am trying to add a domain to the SME 5.5 server. I shall use the domain for e-mail accounts. I have the domain from my ISP as primary, and my domain as virtual. I tried to change the virtual domain to be the primary. When I did so the server refused to connect to the internet. The domain from my ISP I have not always had as primary domain, I just changed it to be the ISPs domain when I figured it out. The domain is not something they tell the subscribers.

Domain from ISP: “as2-1-5-hgy.n.bonet.se”
ISP: Bonet AB, (Bostream) SWEDEN.
Connection type: Residential 2.5 Mbit/s static IP, ADSL.
IP: “217.215.6.78”

Domain (my-): “univi.com”  
DNS: “ns7.zoneedit.com, “ns14.zoneedit.com”.

Currently, the “univi.com” and “www.univi.com” points directly to the IP address, and the server listens to it on an “i-bay” with the name “UNIVI”.  

I want to have the “univi.com” as primary domain, and use it with e-mail, because I can’t have e-mail on a virtual domain (Am I wrong?). I want to have e-mail addresses such as “joel@univi.com”, “info@univi.com” and so on. I want to use e-mail client software, such as MS Outlook 6, to check the e-mail. And, if it is possible, use that IMP webmail, or other webmail.  

Currently, no e-mail, anyway, gets in or out the system. No send, no recieve.  

So, does anyone know how to do this?

E-mail is available on all virtual domains.  If you create an account 'myaccount'  --myaccount@domain.com, myaccount@virtualdomain1.com, myaccount@virtualdomain2.com, etc...  are all available e-mail address that all point to the same account.

I don't know why you setup your primary as your ISP. I am also hosted by an ISP and using DSL. My dsl router and my nic can and will respond to the hostname set by the isp:  myrouter.domain.ispname.com

All I did was make my primary domain that of the domain name I registered with Internic (mydomainname.com) and set up my server with this info. Next, I went into the domain registrar's page and told it where my dns servers were. Then on my DNS servers I setup my www, mail, ftp, etc... and pointed it to my IP. That's it.

Point being that your box can be used as your domain. My internal domain = my external domain, so all my clients inside are known as pc1.mydomain.com, pc2.mydomain.com, etc...

Yes, how can this behavior be altered?? Its a very anoining "feature" that you cant control at all?
