RE: Virtual Domain Problem
Hello there, I have been attemping to get virtual hosting up and running but have failed so far with the following message: Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6) The domain was added to virtualdomains using the domain.com:user example in the FAQ. The domain was also added to the rcphosts and the server was hupped a few hundred times... Anyone have any insights into this particular problem? Did you put the domain name in control/locals?

Several docs on qmail say NOT to put virtual domains in the locals file however. That qmail-lint program also checks to see if a virtualdomain in is locals and generates an error message.

Fwd: Re: Virtual Domain Problem
You don't want this to be in your locals file. It's a virtual domain. Hum.. Is this a third level domain, or is it a first level? third.domain.com vs. domain.com I've had these issues as well myself. Most of the time to solve it required to make sure that the domain is spelled correctly, and there is a valid 'user' it's being handled by: domain.com:user If this is a third level domain, you will need to add a dot infront of the domain in your virtualdomains file: .domain.com:user It's a wild card alias that will accept all third level domain names. Other than that, there isn't much I can think of at the moment. Hope this helped..

The only problem I seem to be having is virtual domain routing. I host two domains on my machine other than the original one (deathvapor.org). I am attempting to route all the mail for domain1.com to one account and all the mail for domain2.com to another account. Here is a step-by-step of how I went about attempting this: I used "./config," so all the virtual hosts on my machine were put into /var/qmail/control/locals and /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts with their respective "www." hostnames (ie: it put www.domain1.com instead of domain.com, which seems normal..I think). Add domain1.com and domain2.com (without the www.) to control/rcpthosts. Otherwise, you will not be able to receive mail for those domains via SMTP. With your current setting, qmail will only accept mail for www.domain1.com and www.domain2.com via SMTP. control/locals should only contain dvp.deathvapor.org and deathvapor.org. Remove everything else. control/virtualdomains should contain: domain1.com:user1 domain2.com:user2 Then restart qmail. Then in user1's home directory, you need to have a .qmail-default file containing delivery instructions. It will catch all mail for that domain. Do the same for user2. What basically happens is that when qmail sees a domain in virtualdomains, it appends the recipient address to the username associated with that virtualdomain and then treats it as local. In your case, when you send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it becomes [EMAIL PROTECTED] and is treated as local. qmail then looks in zach's home directory for a .qmail-test file for delivery instructions. Delivery instructions are documented in man dot-qmail. I put "domain1.com:zach" on one line of /var/qmail/virtualdomains, and I restarted qmail. I sent a mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and got a returned mail. It said: --begin-- Hi. This is the qmail-send program at dvp.deathvapor.org. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
