Virtual Hosts & new Mail Server

[ElgertS]

I was very startled to learn that virtual host support with the new mail server is not very impressive – at least in the GUI. It is only allowing aliases. I was doing that with AIMS back in the day. EIMS has progressed far past that and of course we know the tools Apple is using is capable of doing this. I have many sites that each what to have [email protected].

Hopefully there is an easy and effective way to work around this problem without conflicting with Apple’s setup.

That makes me very happy to hear that! I have been waiting to migrate my mail server and around 50 or so domains and when I saw what the GUI was offering me I was in shock.

This issue aside, Panther looks fantastic for my client base and their server needs. I am very excited about moving forward on it!

Joel,

I am in the group you state in this article should consider implementing MySQL support in order to use Postfix for a plethora of domains. Is this easy to implement? I am considering setting up a Jaguar server just for mail running the Exim/Courier system you pointed me to months back at captainnet.net.

Thanks for your endlessly informative help!

Hi,

Am doing the step by step from the “Supporting multiple domains with Postfix” article. Thanks for writing that. Step 5 gives me an error on 10.3 server and I was wondering if “restart” is a typo for “reload”?

In any event the procedure worked great. I set the “virtual user’s” shell to None (/dev/null) so they can access their imap mail but not login to the server directly.

Thanks again.
