Hello,
I have a question, which I hope is simple enough.
If my domain is MYDOMAIN.NET and my machinename that qmail is running on
is QMAIL, then when I set vpopmail up, I have a
~vpopmail/users/
directory. I then go and add the MYDOMAIN.NET with the vadddomain
command, and now I also have
~vpopmail/domains/mydomain.net
as a directory. On the advice of another qmail/vpopmail user, I set up a
link from the users directory to the mydomain.net directory, so the local
mail and the domain mail is the same
# cd ~vpopmail
# mv users users.bak
# ln -s domains/mydomain.net users
However, since I am still setting up and configuring this machine
(qmail.mydomain.net), the MX record for my domain still points to another
server running sendmail, so to get email here, I have to address the email
to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which of course doesn't exist. So, I
then created another link from that domain back to the main domain
# cd ~vpopmail/domains
# ln -s mydomain.net qmail.mydomain.net
And all seems well.
My quesion(s) are this:
1) Is this linking ok to do? Am I causing some unknown problem that I
will regret later?
2) If not, how can I define the "default" domain to be
"qmail.mydomain.net" so if it gets email for a user there,
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" it knows to stick it in the
"users" directory and not the domains/qmail.mydomain.net
Can I do this, and, do I want to?
Any advice or experience would be most appreciated! Thanks!
