How is it possible on OS X 10.1 server (or 10.2 server) to have joe@domain1.com & joe@domain2.com be on 2 different mailboxes ?
The OS X 10.1 Server (& 10.2) manual states that the included mail server software does not allow it. Is there a way to make it work ? It is a BIG drawback for me.
Does sendmail allow you to do it ?

Thank you.

Apple's Mail server doesn't support virtual domains.

Sendmail does. Getting sendmail running is a bit of a PITA, but once it's running, you can do all kinds of things with it, including virtual domains as you specified.

Check http://www.sendmail.org/ for the latest sendmail source and documentation. 'VirtUserTable' is the feature you want.

Or get Communigate Pro. One of the best commercial mail servers out there.

I'd gladly use Communigate Pro if it didn't cost at least $500. That's more than I want to pay for a mail server for my own network. Sure, I can see corporations and ISPs (which is where it's targetted) paying for it, but for individual use, it's too much.
