[-- Attachment #1 --] We accomplish this through sendmail by having the alias maps such as: joe@domain1.com joedavis joe@domain2.com joewhitsel joe@domain3.com joejohnson We dont have thousands of domains but it seems to work OK for us =) -Drew -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Defries [mailto:jonathan@corpex.com] Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 12:20 PM To: David Lawson Cc: Freebsd-Isp@Freebsd. Org Subject: RE: Multiple Companies One Mail Server We use qmail to do this quite happily for several thousand domains. Microsoft products happily accept a username of user@domain.com. Netscape and Eudora (and I think OE for the Mac) don't like it, I guess they parse the domain as being after the first @ symbol, not after the last. In this case, we just get people to use user%domain.com for their login. Easy on a phone as well "your username is your full email address, if you have problems, replace the @ symbol with the % symbol." Not had any support issues on this either, which makes a nice change :) - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of David Lawson Sent: 04 January 2001 22:49 To: FreeBSD ISP Subject: Multiple Companies One Mail Server Is there anyway to have a email username have a @ sign. ex.. user would use username@domainname.com as a username to check their email address username@domainname.com We are trying to running multiple companies on one mail server.
