I've just purchased iMail and am looking for some guidance on setting it up to handle mail for multiple domains. I've read through the manuals and played around a bit, but I'm not sure I fully understand the "best" approach to this. I'll be installing iMail again from scratch, so I thought I'd ask for some advice.
Details: I'll be installing iMail on a machine named neptune.castleweb.com. Based on the manual, this is the "primary host" (manual, p.18). However, there are no real accounts here -- mail will all be for other domains. I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarding to my real e-mail account. iMail will process mail for several domains (a.com, b.com, c.com, etc.). All have MX records aliased to the same IP address as neptune.castleweb.com (mail.a.com, mail.b.com, etc.). I can change the mail.a.com IP addresses to be different, but would prefer not to for ease of maintenance. Questions: 1. When adding a.com to iMail, I prefer to add "a.com" rather than "mail.a.com", since this domain is what is displayed in the Web interface. Is this acceptable, or must I add "mail.a.com" and setup an alias "a.com"? 2. When adding a.com, b.com, etc., should I add these as virtual domains? iMail lets me add them as either virtual or IP. The documentation leads me to believe that they must be virtual. 3. When accessing mail through WebMail, will it make a difference in what the user sees if I use virtual or IP-based? That is, will a user from a.com see the URL in their browser as neptune.castleweb.com (the primary host) or mail.a.com when they connect? I'd prefer the latter, of course. I am grateful for any and all assistance. Jeff Hitchcock - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
