Topic: first virtual domain questions

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version: 0.8.6
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: Ubuntu 12.04
- Related log if you're reporting an issue:
====

Acording to the install steps...the first virtual domain must not be the same as the server name. Why?

Could this rule be broken after the installation process(a manually change)?

Re: first virtual domain questions

Why do you have to use the server hostname as mail domain?

Re: first virtual domain questions

Well, when i'm a noob when understanding hostname/mail domain names.

If a have already a mail domain like mail.companyDomain.net..........................

LE: after some google search, i realized that the hostname should be companyDomain.net and mail.companyDomain.net it's like a subdomain big_smile
