Multiple domain server
Posted by Søren Rokkedal Larsen on February 28th, 2004


Hi

I would like to setup a linux where I can host web, mail, sql etc. for
several domains (just lige the webhotels on the Internet).

What I don't understand is how your setup a system, so that you can setup
mail without interfering with other domains mail.

E.g. The domains abc.com and def.com

I want the administator of both domains to be able to set up the main
adresses webmaster:

webmaster@abc.com & webmaster@def.com

The detup I have been able to create so far is done either by having a user
called webmaster or having an alias for webmaster. The to administators
should of course not be able to check each others mail.

When I log on to my webhotel via ftp, it seems to me that I have a my own
server:

\
users
user1
web
user2
web
web
...

I know that what I see as "\" is in fact "\sites\abc.com\". How is that
done?

More questions to come...

Thanks in advance
Søren Larsen

Read the documentation of your mail server about virtual domains.

That's a solution, then you can use a procmail script to split the
e-mails into two different accounts.
