Here's what I need.

I have domain1.com and domain2.com

I create a Virtual Site for domain1.com and setup a catch-all POP3 account.

Now i need domain2.com forwarded/pointed to domain1.com and its catch-all e-mail to the pop account of domain1.com.

Please any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Create a catch-all email alias on domain2 and forward it to an email alias on domain1.

Edit the httpd.conf file and change the document root for domain2 to the document root for domain1.

That was my solution... The Raq4 has a much easier way to do this through the GUI. But with the Raq3, I was never able to get both the email and the domain to forward correctly, for domains that are on a shared IP address.

If domain1 is on a unique IP address, then simply modify the DNS records for domain2 to point to domain1's IP.
