Hi,

I'm running my own nameservers so I won't need anymore IPs. So far I have two domainnames, one being transferred to the "nameserver IP." My question is, when I setup the mx records for mydomain.com and mynextdomain.com.. because they both are using the same IP address, will this conflict in their emails in anyway?

for example, sending email to webmaster@mydomain.com won't allow me to have a webmaster@mynextdomain.com

thanks!

Actual email boxes are only limited by available user name. You cannot have two users with the same username. So domain1.com and domain2.com can't both have webmaster as a user. However, through the use of email aliases domain1.com and domain2.com can receive email via webmaster@domain1.com and webmaster@domain2.com without conflict. How you might ask?

Well, lets say I set up a virtual site and I want to receive email at webmaster@mydomain.com, but somebody at theirdomain.com is already using the user name, webmaster. All I do is create user webmaster1 or whatever username I want to use to log in to my pop box, and then put webmaster in as an email alias while creating the user. Now, I will use webmaster1 as the username in combination with the password to log in to the pop box, but I can receive mail set to webmaster@mydomain.com because webmaster@mydomain.com is an alias for webmaster1@mydomain.com.

I am sure that this is as clear as mud, but I hope it helps.
