multiple domains, all share same email accounts?

[lkbryant]

Hi

I have a client who have 2 domains:

abc.com and 123.com

Client has setup all his email accounts on abc.com and now have added the domain 123.com

Now the client wants all emails to be vice versa between abc.com and 123.com

Meaning both email accounts will share the same inbox.


Is creating forwarders the only method of doing this?

Creating forwarders will probably create a loop; if you try it, be sure to monitor the logs until you're sure it doesn't.

I can think of several approaches, all of which are a bit klugey.

One way would be to create the second domain as an alias to the first domain, and then write redirection cost inside an .htaccess file to redirect the actual hosting to different directory structures inside public_html; another would be to do the same as above, manually make necessary changes to the user-level httpd.conf file, and then chattr the user-level httpd.conf file so it can't be automatically overwritten by DirectAdmin (note this will create problems if you need to have DirectAdmin make changes to the file).

Yet another would be to create links in the fileysystem so the second domain hosts it's email at the first domain's email directories.

I'm being intentionally rather vague here, simply becuase unless you really know what you're doing, you're probably better off simply not doing it.

Of course others may have a better idea.
