IMAP Servers - GNU/Linux Guru help needed
Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2005 5:40 pm
Hi,
I just need to know what tools I need to use to allow IMAP to be used for multiple mailboxes on multiple domains, all on the same hardware.... like a shared host.
I have UW-IMAP and exim as the MTA.
Currently when UW-IMAP logs in user@domain.com it just opens up ~user/mbox.
That's no use if have:
joebloggs@domain1.com
and
joebloggs@domain2.com
on the same server... it will just try to serve ~joebloggs/mbox to both accounts
Equally... mailboxes like:
mail@domain.com will think "mail" is the system account for "mail".
Shared hosts using CPanel use UW-IMAP and exim too so it must be possible. They give out username like "mailbox+domainname.com" and they dont have a shell account with that username... how is it done?
Cheers... I'm an IMAP server admin n00b
