Virtual email accounts. What is that??

[jano117]

Hello

I can't understand one thing. I have created a user johny in DA as a resseler. DA created email account [email protected]. User johny has his system account, but when i create an email account for second user let's say [email protected] a johnyB doesn't have a system account. Now I know that calls virtual email account, and home directory for this user is /home/johny/imap/doman.com/johnyB but i can't find any file,database or aliases which points from domain.com to johnyB user.

In which file the names of virtual account are stored in CentOS ?? How exim or DA knows how to deliver a mail to virtual email account??Which files, db,aliases are responsible for that, and where i can find it??

Thanks!

P.S. Sorry for my English

Have a look in /etc/virtual

Yes I know it's the main directory for virtual accounts, but I can't find here any file which contains johnyB "virtual user". Where is any file,conf,db,alias that contains those names??

Each domain in /etc/virtual contains an alias file which contains the names of the virtual account. Again see /etc/virtual

Presuming your server is using Dovecot (recent ones should be) the directory structure for each virtual mailbox is created in /home/USERNAME/imap/EXAMPLE.COM but not until email is actually received.
