Write, I just dont get the way these RAQ4's work.

I add domain names, and the emails are all generated like @www.domain.com, so the relaying is set to @www.domain.com.

So to get round that problem you have to add @domain.com to the relaying domains, that sorts incomming mail.

But then theres catch all accounts, I read on this board that you add an @www.domain.com/@domain.com as an alias to one of your users.

Rite then, here goes

First add @domain.com, and get the message : -

Invalid or conflicting email aliases: @mpfreescene.com

Okay, do the @www.domain.com, and that works okay.

Fine, lets see if it works with a sendmail in verbose mode from an external source : -

message to test@mpfreescene.com

>>> RCPT To:<test@mpfreescene.com>
550 5.1.1 <test@mpfreescene.com>... User unknown

message to test@www.mpfreescene.com

>>> RCPT To:<test@www.mpfreescene.com>
250 2.1.5 <test@www.mpfreescene.com>... Recipient ok



Okay, that brings me back to the original thing, can not add @mpfreescene.com as an alias.


What the hells going on with these boxes, who ever made them?, I mean nobody uses @www.domain.com email addresses do they?, so why does it do this all the damn time ?

RaQ3:
Go into the site: http://www.mpfreescene.com/admin
Hostname should be: www
Domain name should be: mpfreescene.com
Check the box next to Accept E-mail for Domain

----------------------------------------

RaQ4:
Go into the site: http://www.mpfreescene.com/admin
Hostname should be: www
Domain name should be: mpfreescene.com
Enter mpfreescene.com in Web Server Aliases
Enter mpfreescene.com in Email Server Aliases

-----------------------------------------

To add a catch-all account, add @www.mpfreescene.com as an alias to one of your users (you've already aliased www.mpfreescene.com to mpfreescene.com above, so email sent to anything@mpfreescene.com will work and be delivered to the user with this alias).


Nothing else is needed.

Just to explain how you'd set up a subdomain, let's say bob.mpfreescene.com ...


RaQ4:
Go into the site: http://bob.mpfreescene.com/admin
Hostname should be: bob
Domain name should be: mpfreescene.com
Leave Web Server Aliases blank.
Leave Email Server Aliases blank.

You do not want the server to think that bob.myfreescene.com = myfreescene.com thus you do not want to set up an alias to myfreescene.com in these two fields.

-----------------------------------------

To add a catch-all account, add @bob.mpfreescene.com as an alias to one of your users (email sent to anything@bob.mpfreescene.com will work and be delivered to the user with this alias). This assumes you want to get email@bob.myfreescene.com in the first place, which many people don't (they just prefer to use user@myfreescene.com for email, even with subdomains).


If any of this confuses you, then disregard it and just read the first post above. Everything you need to know is there, this is just an additional example of how to set something else up so that you can make the connection as to what is going on.

Cheerz for your help chicken, I got it after anyway, I was about to add it to the virtusertable manually(im trying to keep everything into the control panel, becuase im wiery of the cobalt OS), when I noticed one of the other posts you had already made (I swear I looked throught them 10 times already) and realised that it was the email alias.

See I was getting mixed up, I put mail.mpfreescene.com into the mail server alias, thinking it was an alias for the domain name of the mail server, DOH!

And subdomains, ive been adding them manually, because I only wanted my subdomains to work as /mpfreesc/sub as sub.mpfreescene.com and mpfreescen/sub2 as sub2.mpfreescene.com and so on.


Thanks again anyway!

Ahhh well, maybe it will help someone else :D :beer:

Kind of related to this thread, I noticed that my virtusertable (RaQ3) has these lines:

user@www.mydomain.net user
MAILER-DAEMON@www.mydomain.net MAILER-DAEMON
sys@mydomain.net sys
owner-majordomo@www.mydomain.net owner-majordomo_site6
nobody@www.mydomain.net nobody

# catch-all aliases
@www.mydomain.net error:nouser No such user here

I assumed I would have to remove the catch all and nobody lines manually before I could enter the @www.mydomain.net alias for a user?

I don't know, I've never had to edit that, just added it through the CP and all was well, on RaQ3/4
