Hi All,

I am configuring a server to be used to host several domains with
several email accounts for each.

The way I have been thinking about doing this is as follows.

One user who is responsible for a set of domain names with email
accounts in the following structure

/home
        user1
                domain1.com
                        mail
                                account1
                                account2
                        www
                        database
                domain2.com
                        mail
                                account1
                                account2
                        www
                        database

etc. I am thinking about sticking with Exim-tls for the MTA,
courier-pop-ssl for pop3 and courier-imap-ssl for imap.

Does this sound like a sensible setup. Also, would I be able to set
quotas per domain directory ?

The other option I thought of was the following format

/var
        www
                domain1.com
                domain2.com
        mail
                domain1.com
                        account1
                        account2
                domain2.com
                        account1
        database
                domain1.com
                domain2.com
/home
        user

There is obviously the higher amount of maintenance here with the domain
names being created under multiple directories

The other question I had was whether it was possible to setup mysql /
postgresql to create a database within a particular location (e.g.
/home/user/domain1.com/database/ ?

Another question I had was, what would be the best way to manage the
mail accounts ? LDAP ?

I have been scouring the web for a little while to see if there were
some form of howto or something that covered this but did not find any
of the sort - does anyone here have any good web links.

Any help, advice, pointers etc in this greatly appreciated.


Best Wishes,



Shri
