Greetings all. I have searched through the kb, the list archive and the
manual and haven't been able to find what I am looking for. Tech support
hasn't responded yet, so hopefully someone out there can help me out.
Here's my situation:
*We have over ten-thousand domain names (domain1.com, domain2.com, etc) with
more being added every day.
*The powers-that-be(PTB, not to be confused with PHB all you Dilbert fans)
would like to be able to send and recieve mail for each domain via web
messaging.
*They would like to be able to log in to web messaging on
mail.masterdomain.com (IMail server) and log in as [EMAIL PROTECTED], who
is not the same as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I thought maybe I could get away with just telling the PTB that once the
foobar user name is taken, then it is taken across every domain and then
setting up through the administrator all 10,000 domain names as host
aliases. That would work, but the host aliases box only allows for 30,000
characters. So if I have to come up with a different solution then I might
as well try to include the duplicate foobar requests also.
Has anyone ever done something like this on this scale? I guess that I
could get a seperate IP for each website and configure it that way, but I
think 10,000 is just a little out of my league. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated.
For what it's worth, I have set up the mail server on a dual 800 MHz PIII
machine with RAID 5 on a 102 GB array (so really about 66 GB of actual
storage space) and 512 MB of RAM running Windows 2000 and IMail 6.05
(registered, Unlimited Users). I am writing a custom component in VB
through VisualDLL (IMail won't work with the ActiveX DLLs that VB produces,
I don't think) to build my ODBCUSER.DLL to interact with our SQL 7 database.
Thanks for your time!
