Re: exim howto newbie ?
hi ya christo...
my first tests for proper dns setup for the virtual domains...
http://www.dom-one.com
http://www.dom-two.com
http://www.dom-three.com
should all work.....with difffernet results...
than try to solve the emails and user name issues
i know this does not solve your problem...
but sending emails to user@dom-one.com and preventing it from
getting to user@dom-two.com ...in my case, it was done by a
pre-processing script and i was using smail....
ie i had two different john on two different domains
and the smail post processing scripts did its work
-
only the desired recepient got the mail
but, the hosting machine could only have one john in /etc/passwd
- some virtual setups tend to create temp aliases...
usera.dom-one: ... blahA...
userb.dom-two: ... blahB...
userc.dom-xxx: ... blahC...
trick is to convert incoming usera@dom-one into usera.dom-one
and than the rest is easy...
- i have not tried the obvious...
/etc/aliases
....
user1@dom-one.com: user@real-domain.com
user2@dom-two.com: real_user@real-domain2.com
have fun
