Hello,

I am a reseller of a shared server that is from vdi. I dont have access to root, but i have access to webhost manager and reseller features.

Problem I am having is Im trying to increase revenue by selling subdomains with domain redirection. This part is easy but problem I have is trying to setup email accounts.

Currently if I park a domain they will get their email at theirdomain.com. Unfortunately if the top domain and subdomain both have username info for email they will both get the same mail. Any ideas? It cannot differentiat between info@domain.com and info@subdomain.domain.com. I would like to know of a way around this.

Everytime i ask system admin to change anything that involves root access, they refuse. So I cannot adjust dns or mx records.

I've tried mydomain.com but doesnt seem to work with mx records.

The control panels that we have are of Dark Orb.

Thank you!

Try this

This is simple MX settings in the DNS.


set an MX for domain.com

domain.com MX IN A 10 mail.domain.com

and set a MX for the subdomain

sudomain.domain.com MX IN A 10 mail2.domain.com


And make sure that what ever box mail.domain.com and mail2.domain.com are set to recieve the domains separately.

From what I have heard, you cannot have emails on subdomains, you can just set up a subdomain catchall (this is what my host has told me as well as several other hosts/people)...

You dont need root acces to edit dns records, you should have this in your control panel.
