You could make this work, but why? I think it's instructive and less grief
in the long run for users to get accustomed to full email addresses for
users outside their own domains, even if they're hosted on the same server.
Fewer help desk calls.

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Mail Problems (Virtual Hosts)
I have a slight problem.
My server runs IMail v.408 and I host virtual domains with virtual imail.
Anyway, when someone sends a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it is only possible to successfully send
if they send to the absolute name - for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Have I set something up wrong?
In my dns, the records are as follows for a virtual host:
A Record: theirdomain.com
A Record: main.theirdomain.com
CNAME: www to main
MX Record: main.theirdomain.com
@ Record: server1.mymaindomain.com
In the IMail Administrator the settings are as follows:
Host: main.theirdomain.com
Alias: theirdomain.com
If all domains are hosted on one computer, why do you have to be so specific
when sending mail?
If someone could help me correct this problem I would really appreciate it.
Thx
- Jason
