What I do when I setup domains (including the first domain on install) is I call them by their domain...
 
for example
 
robcashman.com
 
and then I make an alias mail.robcashman.com so that the web stuff works on it.
 
I kind of wish that IMail would have two fields for hostnames... one for MX records and one for web/imap/smtp/pop. Then I could say that a "domain" accepts mail from robcashman.com and bobo.com if I want so [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are the same person, and I could say that mail.whatever.com is the web/imap/pop/smtp interface. Would be nicer.
 
Of course taking it a step further it would be nice if you could enable access for users to specific services on a per user basis like iPlanet Messaging server does. You can say that a user only has SMTP access or only POP/SMTP or POP/SMTP/Webmail ... etc... by setting it peruser.

Subject: [IMail Forum] domain name clarification

We're installing and testing Imail 7.0x for the first time.  If I name the server mail.domain.com, when I add users it auto-fills the reply address in as [EMAIL PROTECTED].  I'd like it to fill it in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I don't have to change it for every user.  Do I have to name the server just domain.com to be able to do that?  Or is that not the right way to name the server?
