If you are asking if there is any advantage to hosting multiple domain
names on one IP (and therefore one instance of JAMES), then yes. Many
companies, including mine, are being severly limited in the number of IPs
they are allowed to "rent," and have to resort to virtual hosting.
Luckily, this is exceedingly easy in Apache, and some commercial mail
servers. AFAIK the best way to do this is by adding a suffix to the
username when logging in for POP3 or IMAP (i.e. user.domain) and
discriminating incoming mail by domain name (this is how NTMail works). I
think this is a pretty valuable feature for a business class mail server,
and should (eventually) make it's way into JAMES. What do you all think?
P.S. This is the primary reason we cannot use JAMES as a mail server at my
company (although I would like to), but I got no kinda time ATM to put it
in. Soon, hopefully, I will.
