Scalix Forums

I am trying to install the Community edition but it is giving me the following error on the system check and won't let me proceed:

Network check failed - hosts file is not configured with fully qualified domain name (FQDN)
Network check failed - Invalid FQDN 'mailserver'
Network check failed - IP address associated with host name 'mailserver' is '127.0.0.1'

I have tried different things. the hostname of the server is mailserver and i also have pointed a domain to the server and have configured the firewall with all the ports as per the document, is there anyone out there that could help would an example /etc/hosts file help me.

Can you have multiple email domains on one server and can a users have more than one for e.g. the user Adam has email adam@microsoft.com adam@msn.com adam@windows.com is this possible if so, can they send as each domain or just one.

Thanks in advance
Adam

I have solved the network part of my post but please could some confirm about using multiple email domains

Kind Regards
Adam

Scalix has no concept of domain ownership, either there is a match in the SYSTEM directory or there isn't.

You can have whatever address you want for receiving mail. For sending, it gets a little more complex.

If you are using Outlook with Scalix Connect or SWA, the originating address will be your primary internet address. We've raised a feature request for this to be changed but there is no timescale for a fix.

If you are using Thunderbird or a similar IMAP client, you can change the outgoing address to be whatever you want.
