Question 1---
Maybe ya'll can help me... I am having problems setting up email on my RaQ. I need to be able to have 2 domains with the same username. (ie. john on domain1.com and john on domain2.com) I don't care if their login name must be user@domain.xxx... I just need this to work.

:bawling:

Question 2---
How do I limit bandwidth of a particular IP address to say, 9 GB of transfer? The only option I see if a kbps; which I believe there is a particular translation from this to actual GB of transfer per month. How do I configure this?


Thanks!

Question 1.
Set up another user (say 'john2') on the second domain. Then under aliases for that user, put 'john' and you're done.

Question 2.
I personally wouldn't limit the speed of the site like this in an attempt to limit their total monthly transfer. There are other ways to limit it, but I always forget if it is mod throttle or mod bandwidth, and you could just bill them for any overage.

Also note that limiting bandwidth in this way limits all sites on that IP. Not always a good thing.

Actually, I want to make this easy on the customer; so the solution to question 1 can not be. I prefer the login to be user@domain.com instead of john2 then aliases it as john.

Each site has its own dedicated IP; I've got free IPs, so I'm not worried about that. I just want clientA to have 5 GB and clientB to have 30 GB; each having their own IP.

Thanks!
