I am trying to understand how to set up mail accounts for the domains I host on a new dual G5 X Serve. This is VERY NEW to me. I have a few sites set up and running fine. I need to add mail now. The hosting provider where I have co-located has put in the correct DNS entries for the MX record for each domain. He is hosting the DNS records on a dedicated box for DNS serving. So the XServe is not the DNS server.
I am at a loss for finishing the puzzle. As an example, I host a site www.gardenkiss.com. I have turned on the web mail option for the site using the Server Admin util. So you can get to the log in page at http://www.gardenkiss.com/webmail/
However, I cannot log in using the user account for that site. I am also confused on that issue – how to set up email accounts? Must I really enter a user account in the Users and Groups list of the Workgroup Manager for EVERY email account? I have hundreds, and that makes no sense.
Also, in the Server Admin utility, the “Overview” for the mail server shows that Outgoing and Incoming SMTP is disabled. I found some help through google to run 'sudo postfix start' and that solved that problem.
Seriously, I am new to this, having used Imail on W2K for several years now. Can anyone, ANYONE help? Paid help is an option. I am VERY GREEN with the terminal.
I just need to be able to set up mail accounts for each of 30+ domains I host - each domain has several email accounts/users - and allow that user the send/get email from his/her client app as well as through the web using SquirrelMail.
