Default email accounts and multiple domains

[ditto]

I am using newest DirectAdmin version 1.37, and Dovecot and Roundcube.

When I create a user account and domain in DirectAdmin, there is automatically created a email account with that username. It works, and users can log into Roundcube.

However, when the user add another domain to his DirectAdmin account, that domain too automatically get a email account with the username created.

So, it is like this:

DirectAdmin user account and first domain is created, and this email account is created: DA-USER@[B]1[/B]DOMAINNAME.TLD

Then user add a second domain, and another email account is automatically created by DirectAdmin: DA-USER@[B]2[/B]DOMAINNAME.TLD

However, when the user try to log into Roundcube, it only works with the first domain name email account: DA-USER@[B]1[/B]DOMAINNAME.TLD - and he is not able to log in to Roundcube with the second email account: DA-USER@[B]2[/B]DOMAINNAME.TLD

Also when sending email to DA-USER@[B]2[/B]DOMAINNAME.TLD, this email seems to go to inbox in the first email account USER@[B]1[/B]DOMAINNAME.TLD

So I am confused. When a user is adding extra domain names to his account, and DirectAdmin automatically create new email accounts on those extra domains, are they not supposed to work? Is my users not supposed to use them? If so, why are those email accounts created automatically when users add extra domains and listed in DirectAdmin? This is confusing for both me and my users.

I hope anybody who understand this better, can explain.

Already discussed here.

Thanks for the link. So it seems like it is supposed to be this way.

Then I will think about opening a post in Feature Request forum, and ask DA if they will consider to change this, so that there is NOT added a default email alias for extra domains that users add, but only for the first domain created when the user account is first set up.

As soon as it's a system email not a virtual one, I believe, that does not really matter what you have after @, until domain or IP points to the correct server.
