Very Computer

Running RedHat v7.0, and trying to share a single IP for multiple
virtual Email domains, but having difficulty with it. Setting up
Apache is a breeze, no problem at all.

So, for an example, I have 1.2.3.4 dedicated to my system, and want
domain1.com and domain2.com hosted on that IP address.

So I create user "john" on domain1.com and domain2.com, and send a
simple test message to each account.

If I set my Email program to conenct to domain2.com, I download the
message from domain1.com.

So I change the passwords, and send another test message. Now I get an
error saying my password is wrong - even though I'm telling it to
connect to domain2.com, it's still connecting to domain1.com, I
*think* because of the shared IP address.

I need a workaround. Any suggestions are welcomed.

What are you using as your mail exchanger (i.e., what program is
receiving
and processing the mail)?  I know how to do this with Sendmail and
Postfix.

I am not exactally sure what MTA (mail transport agent) you are using, but you
might like to take a look at the support in qmail to achieve what you are
doing.  From all reports it handles multiple email domains with great ease.
The URL for qmail is: http://www.qmail.org.

See ya
