Mail url

[woober]

I run DA and squirrelmail, and this works fine. But I want to make it possible when I type mail.xpress-it.no in my browser that it opens Squirrelmail.

Does any1 has a how-to-guide for how I can do this?

Thanks in advance.

hum, simple ... lol ^^ redirection !

Connect to DA of xpress-it.no

Make a sub-domain named mail

Ok, now your mail.xpress-it.no exists.

After this, go in your /mail/ directory. Make a file "index.php" and add this in your index.php :


<?php Header("Location: http://www.xpress-it.no/squirrelmail/"); ?>

One problem is that the POP3 server is called the same, wouldnt this make a problem with the DNS of the POP server?

Actually even a bit more simple...

You can do site redirection in the user-level control panel; you don't have to set up a subdomain and create the index.php file or an .htaccess file.

?

Site redirection is only for a directory after the domain name. If i put /webmail in redirection site, it's for www.domain.com/webmail to redirect toward www.domain.com/very/long/path/by/example.

But to redirect a subdomain (webmail.domain.com by example, webmail is a subdomain), it's not possible (about what i know) with "redirection site" function in DA.

If you explain, i am interesting ....

My mistake...

My brain managed to confuse both site pointers and redirection, and give them both the qualities of both .
