VSMT the Virtual Server Management Tool

Advanced email configuration for virtual hosts with VSMT:
    This page is only applicable for server #2 accounts and above, who already have properly installed virtual hosts.

    Using virtual hosts, many domains can share a single IP address. This causes a dilemma for email as there is no default way to differentiate between webmaster@virtual-1.com and webmaster@virtual-2.com - both addresses are just delivered to "webmaster" on the server #2's domain. As most websites would like to use email addresses like "webmaster" or "sales" with their domain, another method has to be used.

    First, either a unique pop account must be created for each virtual domain (using the VSMT Add a new account) or a valid destination email address like joe@earthlink.net must be known.

    The complete address, including the virtual's domain name, must be entered in the alias field. For example the desired webmaster@virtual-1.com.

    The maildrop input filed should contain the address of the final recipient of the mail - either the name of the pop account added for the virtual or a valid offsite email destination.

    To add an alias enter the name and its alias in the input boxes and click on Add the alias.

    To remove an alias enter the name in the name input box and click on Remove the alias.

    To modify an existing alias you must first remove it and then add the modified alias.
