Title: Virtual mail - eGroupware
Post by: bloodshoteye on November 30, 2007, 08:23:29 PM
Hi SME'ers

I can't find if this has been answered already, so please excuse if it has.
Simple question, really, but:

If I have eGroupware installed on an SME Server 7.2 with one or more virtual domains, will it deliver and send for them as well as the main domain?
With Horde, this is the case, but before I add an alternative I would like to know if I'm barking up the wrong tree.

Have a good one,

Well, you are certainly barking up the wrong forum (this one being for "Discussion of the use of *ONLY* the components and features included on the SME Server 7.x CD"). You'll probably do better to ask in the 7.x Contribs forum.

I'll guess the answer will be "depends on how you have configured eGroupware".

Moving this topic to the SME 7.x contribs forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Humblest apologies for posting to the incorrect forum.

Well, I installed eGroupware, which is what I should have done in the 1st place  :oops:
All appears fine and virtual hosts and primary domain can access their mail via eGroupware.

Sorry to have wasted your time - case of over-caution, I guess.

Hi,

Could you share with us what you've done?
It would be useful for others, and maybe good to add to the Wiki :-D

This is my own installation from home, hosting 3 other domains and mine - all very modest.
Noticed the following after a default install of eGroupware as per the Wiki:

Virtual domain users are presented with a log in to eGroupware just the same as primary domain users.
Virtual domain users inherit the title name of the site set in Admin>Site Configuration.
Say I change the title to "mydomain", and a virtual user goes to http://virtual_domain.com/egroupware, the browser's title changes to "mydomain"
Presumably then, all other settings will be inherited?

At this stage, and being quite new to SME (excellent software) and to eGroupware (excellent contrib), I don't know if this is desireable or not - e.g. the virtual domain client will have to notify me of a new employee or I must give the client access via user panels. This may be a security hole.
Fact remains, as long as a user has a SME account, he can have an e-mail account. For my (mainly experimental) installation, this is good enough.

What I've done is nothing special and doesn't warrant inclusion in the Wiki, I'm sure  :smile:
