Re: [IMail Forum] Host Alias

[Eric A. Shanbrom]

The logon would be the same for either domain. as the user is resident in both. With domain.com being the real domain (vs. the aliased one) the messages for [EMAIL PROTECTED] are being delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] So for Joe to pick up his mail he would connect to mail.domain.com and logon as joe. If this is an IP-less domain he would logon to the main server and logon as [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the proper password. In essence, Joe would have one account receiving mail from 2 different addresses. Hope this makes it a bit clearer.   Eric S   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry L Fritts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 1999 9:05 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Host Alias Thanks Eric,   That is exactly how I set it up but the problem was then that I was unable to retrieve mail from the pop3. Using your example [EMAIL PROTECTED] could send mail but [EMAIL PROTECTED] was unable to retrieve mail.  The user id and password were rejected.   Terry Fritts     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Eric A. Shanbrom Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 1999 7:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Host Alias Sure you can. Here's how:   Setup one mail domain with an official host name of mail.domain.com. Then set the alias field for this domain to domain.com domain.org <note the space>. Then in the DNS records for domain.com and domain.org point the MX records to mail.domain.com. This will mean that mail going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will go to the same account as mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED].   Hope this helps   Eric S   ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry L Fritts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 1999 5:20 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] Host Alias Is it possible to alias a host "domain.com" to "domain.org"? If not is it possible to attach the same IP address to more than one domains?   Thanks   Terry
