Title: failure notice from wrong admin domain
Post by: fergro on March 24, 2006, 11:31:55 AM

Hi all

The scenario I have is as follows:
I have a sme 6 box running two domains, one primary and one virtual.
They belong to two different companies providing similar services that work out of the same office. The companies are too appear to outsiders not to be connected.

The Problem:
When someone emails user@virtualdomain.com and the email user name is not valid for that domain, the reply from the administrator comes back from admin@primarydomain.com. This has raised concern for the owners and questions from clients, as they wish too appear as seperate entities.

I am sure there is a simple answer that I have not readily seen, but I am currently struggling to solve it. If someone can suggest a solution whatever it may be I would be appreciative.

I believe all "server generated" admin mail will come from the primary domain.

You can stop errors for wrong & invalid addresses by installing the free
dungog-mailblocking-1.1-3.noarch.rpm (or latest version for sme6.x)

Configure it to only allow certain addresses to be valid for certain domains.
Also by installing this contrib, your email server will automatically reject messages to ANY invalid email addresses on your server.

I assume you are aware of
