PMFJI, but I have also just struck trouble with virtual mail to virtual domains. This is using freevsd 1.4.9-2, a self-generated skel from the RH6.2 host, and the 1.4.9-2 package of rpm's added. Everything goes well most of the way, ie I created a new virtual server, created 3 test domains on it, created and enabled users for these as per the docs. Testing by bevs'ing to the new VS and sending mail, as per the docs, worked. Problems: 1/ Can't collect mail using a normal mail client, as the /etc/virtual/domain.net/passwd file is thought to be .../domain/.. by vm-pop3d, ie without the .net suffix, and so ...passwd "does not exist". Creating a symlink works as a "hackish" solution. Also, there needs to be a symlink, for the same reason, on /var/spool/virtual/domain.net -> domain 2/ Sendmail thinks that the virtual users don't exist, despite vuser_list showing that they do and sending test mail from within the VS arriving where is should. 3/ Procmail, after the "unknown user" msg, returns this mail to admin@the_new_VS, rather than admin@the_sending_domain. These are the first real problems I've had with freevsd - generally it works well and I should congratulate those responsible for it.
