Topic: IMAP/SMTP access for second domain

I have iredmail working fine for webmail and IMAPs for the primary domain1.com

Once I added domain2.com, I can send/receive from webmail but I cannot connect using Thunderbird.

TB does not autodetect the settings for the domain nor does it connect if i punch them in manually.

Dovecot log shows the user authenticating.
Mail log no errors
Can send/receive using telnet in localhost

Strangely mutt however wants to create a /root/Mail directory upon connecting and lets you in anyway if you deny the request. I believe this is preventing TB as well but dont know where to find the setting or why its aiming to look for mail in that folder

thanks

K

UPDATE: TB connects if I specify imap.domain1.com as the server. Is it possible to map everything to domain2.com as well?

What does "cannot connect using TB" mean?
With iRedMail, you have to use full email address as username (login name).

TB = Thunderbird

I know. What does "cannot connect" means? Do you have correct server address and login name (full email address) configured in TB?

I have all the details correct. TB locates the server settings:

imap.domain2.com
smtp.domain2.com

but it wont authenticate user@domain2.com

I can log in and send/receive from webmail - so the user exists and is authenticated in dovecot/roundcube

thanks for your help

Are they pointed to same IP address as your primary domain?

Can you try to turn on debug mode in dovecot, see what's happening when you logging in?

In /etc/dovecot.conf (RHEL/CentOS) or /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (Debian/Ubuntu) or /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf (FreeBSD):

mail_debug = yes
auth_verbose = yes
auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes

Restart dovecot service and monitor its log file: /var/log/dovecot.log.

I've solved the authentication problem (thanks to your advice and refering to previous setups) by re-creating the domain as

mail.domain2.com

and added A records for mail; smtp; pointing to the IP address of the main server. I can send and soon (hopefully) receive. Now, how can i add an alias for mail.domain2.com so that users only have to use address@domain2.com ? I am using LDAP backend

thanks again

With iRedAdmin-Pro, you can easily add alias domains in domain profile page, like this:

http://screenshots.iredmail.googlecode.com/hg/iredadmin/domain_profile_alias.png

If you don't have iRedAdmin-Pro, you can add alias domains related LDAP attributes/values in domain object, with phpLDAPadmin. For example:

dn: domainName=domain1.com,o=domains,dc=xxx
domainAliasname: domain2.com          # <-- This is alias domain.
enabledService: domainalias           # <-- Enable domain alias.
...
