Adding a domain.

[kanderson]

I currently am running Scalix 9.1.1, and it's awesome. I can't figure out how to add another domain so that I can recieve email to both user1@domaina.com as well as user2@domainb.com on my server. Is there an easy way to accomplish that?

Thanks
Kev.

In most cases, Scalix doesn't have a concept of "owning" a domain. As long as the SMTP Relay can find the address in the SYSTEM directory, it will accept the message.

You can either use the Admin Console to add an additional address or, if you want to use the command line:

ommodu -o "User Name" -n "User Name/mailnode/IA=user1@domaina.com=user2@domainb.com"

As long as your DNS MX records point both domains to your Scalix server, it should be OK.

If it isn't :-) you can add the following to /var/opt/scalix/sys/smtpd.cfg:

LOCAL_DOMAINS=domaina.com,domainb.com

but this isn't necessary if the first suggestions work.

Cheers

But when I create a user in SAC, I normally would see a drop down list of "known" acceptable domains. I can type a new one in, and it does accept it, but will it actually work to send and receive email if I just create them like that? I just don't want to find a consequence later that I hadn't thought of up front...

Thanks

The SMTP Relay (and ommapsmtp, if you are using sendmail as your primary SMTP listener on the Scalix server) will "accept" any address it can find in the SYSTEM directory.

There is a small amount of caching of addresses that takes place in the SMTP Relay so, if you have added an entry, you need to restart the relay. This isn't usually required in a full production environment as the churn of addresses will ensure that the cache is updated.
