Title: Multiple Vir Domains - webs/email on one 6.0box. Questions.
Post by: pistonpilot on January 20, 2004, 10:32:43 AM

I've looked all over the site for info on how the e-esmith acts when you create multiple domains.  I haven't pointed my second site at my box yet, but here is where I have a big question.  

If I understand this correctly, I should be able to have:

www.domain1.com
www.domain2.com on one box.

What happens to mail going to a user on domain2.com?  And can I send mail out from domain2.com.

My domain was setup initially for domain1.com and all the users are for that domain.  I'm unclear on how users interact between the two domains.  

Is there a limit to how many virtual domains one 6.0 box can run?

Maybe I need to be more clear.  If I understand it correctly, you can have 10 domains all getting mail.

Mail sent to john@domain1.com goes to user john as does mail sent to john@domain2.com.

What about sending mail?  Since username remains john what does mail look like.  john gets mail sent to john@domain2.com - he replies - what does the recipient see - john@domain2.com or john@domain1.com for the return address? :-o

There is only ONE user community, so there can only be ONE 'john' either
john@domain1.com or john@domain2.com.  ;-)
It is best to add users(example jsmith (Full Name John Smith), but you can
get around this by following this Darrell May Howto:
