Sorry to trouble you, Just a simple question that has been intriguing me for a while - if you have 5K users, on several boxes. How do you make them all have the same email domain ? userx@domain.com ? Not that I am faced with this situation but i've been wondering how you do it without specifying that box1 is dept1.domain.com and box2 is dept2.domain.com etc... ie. If you have your users split over 4 boxes, and all with userx@domain.com, how do you route mail to the correct box ? Apologies if I am overlooking something obvious, Chas >I have over 5k users - I just add boxes - I dont like all my eggs in 1 >basket - and freebsd is more rugged than SCO was. > > >On Sun, 19 Oct 1997, Nguyen Phi Khanh wrote: > >> >> I'm planning on supporting 2000 users and I'm wondering if anyone >> has any good ideas on what I should do.
