Domain Alias Separate Email Account

[Zaylril]

Hi there,

I was wondering if it was possible to give a domain alias it's own mail box. At present I can easily configure the domain aliases to work on the web fine etc. However if I untick the "Mailbox" option when I am creating a new domain alias so that it doesn't forward my email from the domain alias URL to the main account, there is nowhere then for me to create unique accounts for just the domain alias.

So is it possible to create unique email accounts for domain aliases, or is a more complex workaround needed?

Thanks

Richard

Same problem

We also need to do the same for our project. I hope someone can post a solution or workaround.

Thanks

Try this

Hello,

maybe you can try the following:

Instead of making an Alias, make a new domain for your alias.
Setup your mailboxes there.
And use vhost.conf to link the Document root to your main domain.

This post is quite old, but I was looking for an answer and there wasn't a solution available so I did this and it works.

email for domain alias

Hi,

This is a way for personal using of plesk but for a hosting company it's impossible to setup separate domain alias for having separate emails.I don't understand why parallels team does put this in plesk!

This is very important to solve. I have:

www.customer.com
www.different.com (aliased to customer.com, but a different customer!)

Each domain belongs to a different customer, so each must have their own mailbox and forward rules.

The domains are aliased because they share the same Drupal codebase, and Drupal is smart enough to allow each site to be customized separately.

I think I have this solved.

It seems that when you "Add New Domain", your can set its document root to an existing website. The new domain gets its own email facilities, and it is then aliased to the existing website. Simply!

I was worried that it might copy the installation files to the directory (it doesn't), or that it might give an error saying that the directory exists.

I guess it would be useful if there was an option to select an existing directory in order to alias the domain to an existing website.
