Hey all,

I have a problem with a Verio VPS account where POP email accounts are generated by making usernames in freeBSD's passwd file.

The problem is I cannot do:

samename@domain1.com
samename@domain2.com

This is a big problem. I can't tell my clients an email username is not available (that has not been taken on their domain).

My question is, how do hosts handle this problem? What is the workaround? Does each domain need it's own IP? I need POP EMAIL user names for each domain, not shell accounts.

Is there a way to implement a solution for a freeBSD account?

Thanks

Install qmail / vpopmail / qmailadmin

Easy to install and easy to use.. Your username will just be diff.. i.e. username%domain.com

Search for "qinstall" I think there is a script named this that actually installs it for you.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

Do they work by sorting through the email headers and check reciepient addresses?


Thanks again.
