Thanks to both of you.
For some reason, I never knew that wildcard domains were legal in
"hosteddomains". I think it's because I hadn't read the changes
to the "hosteddomains" docs that you (Jeff) put in place 1-1/2 years
ago (for 0.44.3, on 2003-11-23).
But this brings up another question: how do I use webadmin to handle
*.example.com exactly the same as example.com in the "hosteddomains"
file? Specifically, how do I use webadmin to create "wildcard DNS"
entries in "hosteddomains" per the "Note" at the bottom of this
section in the documenation for "makehosteddomains"?
``WILDCARD DNS''
Wildcard DNS is supported for hosteddomains by placing a
single period character before the domain name. For example,
the hosted domain entry ``.domain.com'' will cause
Courier to accept mail for ``anything.domain.com''.
Courier will accept mail for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
and attempt to deliver it to the local mailbox
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, and if that fails then attempt
to deliver the mail to the local mailbox
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, then finally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Note:
There is a period after the '@' character. If you want
all mail for ``any.thing.domain.com'' to be delivered as
though it were sent to ``domain.com'', you should
define an alias for the domain, for example:
domain.com
.domain.com<TAB>domain.com
In other words, how do I get an ".example.com<TAB>example.com" entry
into "hostededdomains" via webadmin?
Thanks.
