Re: webmail.<mydomain>

Thanks for your answer,

i just had to copy the ssl modules from /etc/apache2/mods-available/ to
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ and to had the below section to
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default adapted to my own server.

There's still one problem tp be sold: the Alias directive allows to
connect to https://<mydomain>/webmail/.
However, i need to connect to https://webmail.mydomain. As i know, it
involves with DNS servers. Any idea?

Regards,

Stevan
