Post by: Stefano on October 09, 2011, 12:53:49 PM: yes.. it's trivial..

let's say you have domain1.com and domain2.com.. and you want info@ for both domains..

creare two different user, i.e. useri1 and useri2 an then create 2 separate pseudonyms; info@domain1.com for useri1 and info@domain2.com for useri2.. that's all

Please read the manual
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter9#Pseudonyms
and make sure you scroll down to the Practical Usage Guidelines section

Post by: mmccarn on October 09, 2011, 02:39:02 PM: I create usernames that contain the target domain as part of the username, so that I have a system that is extensible and easily remembered.

1. Decide on a 'prefix' to use for each domain, eg "dom1" for "domain1.com", "dom2" for "domain2.com"
2. Create user accounts as "dom1.mary" for mary@domain1.com, "dom2.mary" for mary@domain2.com, etc.

* There's a length limit on usernames (14 chars, I believe), so keep your domain prefixes short.
* Use a neutral domain as your Primary domain, so that *everyone* has to change their webmail settings (if your Primary domain is 'domain1.com', then the default from & reply to addresses in webmail for 'dom2.mary' will be 'dom2.mary@domain1.com' - better for this to be 'dom2.mary@myisp.com')

I don't know what happens to the <firstname>_<lastname>@... pseudonyms if you have identical "John Smith" accounts in different domains - you may be prevented from creating the second "John Smith" account, or the results may be undefined.

No, the email address will be mydon1.test@mydomain1.com
or you can set up a different email address by creating a pseudonym for that user ie test@mydomain1.com which points to the user mydon1.test
