Hi,

At WHM, I had created a domain pointer of (say domainpointer.com) which points
to domain.com.
And my client just created an email account of name@domain.com on his CPanel.

When somebody send an email to name@domainpointer.com, it goes to the
default email account default@domain.com.

Is this normal? I thought the email should have gone to name@domain.com.

Did I miss something here?

Anto.

Thats normal with WHM. Emails for every parked domain go to the catchall mail account of your top domain.

You could do this by adding a line to /etc/valiases/domainpointer.com that looked like:


name@domainpointer.com: name@domain.com

I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but this looks foreign to me. I would like to do the same since I have a similar setup and I do have an /etc/ directory in my account but nothing called /valiases/. Am I looking in the right place or am I just lost? Does anyone have more detailed instructions on how to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
