Hi, On my setup, no matter if I go to mail.domain1.com and type in just user and then password it brings up one account. If i go to the same domain and type [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the associated password, it brings up my mail from the other domain. Mind you, I am running vpopmail. I am not sure if that makes a difference or not.
If i may ask here, would you know how to get qmail to work with badmailfrom so I can stop mail coming in from unwanted domains that constantly spam, like hotmail? I have @hotmail.com and others but the mail gets in anyway. Thanks and I hope my lines above help.
