Hey everyone!
I have a question - I'm not sure if my problem is a limitation of the SME Server (running version 7), or something I have done wrong.
I have two domain names pointing to our server at the moment - mail.computerdj.net (just e-mail handling) and valewaytechnology.com
The server was originally installed to act as mail.computerdj.net and to give the local network a few services, but now I need more of the server.
I would like it to handle e-mail for the computerdj.net domain (which is working, perfectly), and, the e-mail (and website, which is also working) for vailwaytechnology.com
All user mailboxes will be the same (ie. adam@computerdj and adam@vailway should point to the same mailbox), which hopefully makes it easier.
The problem is, although I have the DNS set up correctly (I think), I get the following when I try to send a mail to valewaytechnology.com ;
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at spanna.dyndns.org.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

If I send a message to the same user at computerdj.net, the message is delivered in seconds.
Is this just an issue with SME7? I have a similar configuration working on another server (for two different domains) and it's fine. The other server is running SME version 6.
Apologies for the long post, Adam.

You need to create a domain alias in "domains" (in server-manager) before qpsmtpd will accept email for that domain.
When you create the domain alias you'll be asked where to get the DNS for the new domain - if you're serving the new domain (web and email) from the SME itself, pick "internal" - this keeps things working for internal users.

Genious! So it was just me doing something stupid :)
That'd be the difference between the two machines then. It's working great now cheers.
Does this also mean that I can point DNS to the machine's IP and it will automatically choose the correct iBay, or should I still use forwarding?
Thankyou for your reply!

I don't think you're supposed to use the SME server for public DNS - it returns the private address for your local machines...

You are nearly there, explore the server manager a bit more and you'll see how to point the www.valewaytechnology.com host name to the ibay you want.
