Topic: iRedMail with multiple (non mail-related) domains

==== Required information ====

Hello.

I just installed iRedMail, and it seems to work just fine. However, I want it only working at mail.mydomain.com, and currently nginx is redirecting all requests from all domains resolving to my ip to https://domain/mail/ .. It seems iRedMail nginx configuration is taking  over everything.

From what I see all nginx related config for iRedMail is located here: /etc/nginx/conf.d/00-default.conf, and the server name is defined as such: server_name _;

I thought that renaming it to
server_name mail.mydomain.com;
would make it work, but no...

Finally, note that adding sites to /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled does not make any difference neither.

Anyone can help me on this?

It should work if you set "server_name mail.mydomain.com;". What do you mean not work here?

Is A type DNS record of 'mail.mydomain.com' pointed to this mail server?

Check /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, it doesn't include /etc/nginx/sites-{avaialble,enabled} at all.

Note: next iRedMail release (0.9.7) will use these 2 directories.

Yes, and indeed mail.mydomain.com does work, the problem is ALL domains are being taken over by iRedMail configuration. So mydomain.com is also redirected to mydomain.com/mail for instance ...

I thought that changing
server_name _;  to server_name mail.mydomain.com;
would constrain this, but seems not to be the case.

How can I constrain iRedMail to only work on mail.mydomain.com ?

Does your mydomain.com config file contain valid root directory (the document root)?

Yes.

johndoe@slowasus:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled$ ls
default

with the default contents being:

  root /var/www/html;
  index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
  server_name mydomain.com;
  ...

and indeed

johndoe@slowasus:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled$ls /var/www/html/
index.html  index.nginx-debian.html  robots.txt


not sure what am I missing..

Re: iRedMail with multiple (non mail-related) domains

Ah!

Figured it out by re-reading my answer smile

It seems iRedMail also edits the contents at /var/www/html/. Indeed index.html contains a redirection to /mail

Thanks!
