I’ve previously written about problems with Leopard server and forwarding of virtual hosted domain email. My solution was somewhat inelegant and errors were written into the mail.log. Since that time I’ve found a solution that works and generates no errors. It also has the added benefit of being entirely within Server Admin.
Here’s what to do.
In Server Admin > Mail > Settings > Advanced > Hosting the following items are needed.
Obviously, in the lower panel Virtual Domain Hosting needs to be checked and the domains entered.
In the upper panel I have the following entries.
- localhost
- server.mydomain.private (this is the entry under Server Admin > Mail > Settings > General > Domain Name.
- virtual1.com
- virtual2.com
- virtual3.com
virtual1.com and the others are the hosted virtual domains for which users have email accounts. That’s it. When I check my mail logs, mail is forwarded, I get no errors regarding accounts not being set up, and there are no other errors in mail.log.
