Adding Users to a Virtual Domain

After creating a virtual domain, you must create addresses in that domain. After you have created an address, the mail server will be able to receive mail for that address.

To create an address in a virtual domain, click the name of the domain. A pop-up window will come up listing all existing addresses in that domain.

To create a new virtual address, click New Address. Now enter the address and the recipient. The recipient can be a full email address to another destination or a local username (one of the users created in section 5.1). Click Create Address to add this address to the virtual domain.

In the example we created an address sales in the virtual domain corp.guardiandigital.c-om, with the recipient as the user ryan. Now, the server will receive mail for sales@corp.-guardiandigital.com and deliver them to the mailbox of local user ryan.

In the screen-shot example, two addresses are created in the virtual domain corp.guardian-digital.com: sales@corp.guardiandigital.com and support@corp.guardiandigital.com. All mail to these two addresses will be delivered to the accounts of local users ryan and jerrin respectively. Mail to any other address in the domain corp.guardiandigital.com (mail to say ryan@corp.guardiandigital.com) will be sent to the postmaster (admin@gu-ardiandigital.com).

At this point, you should have set up at least one virtual domain in the machine configured as mail store, created addresses in it and set up a DNS server with an MX record pointing to the mail store. Now, you should be able to receive mail for the virtual domain.
