I apologize if I am not explaining this correctly, I do not mean to be
wasting anyone's time, but I am still confused I guess.
I will try again:
I have several domains, some we host the DNS some we don't host the DNS, all
will have a 'A' record that is like so and MX record like below, 192.168.0.2
will be IP address of the Postfix mail server:
'A' Record: mail.domainname.com ----> 192.168.0.2
'MX' Record: domain.com ----> mail.domainname.com
Each and every user will have an account on our local (192.168.0.2) mail
server, using the mbox protocol, this would be the easiest way to set it up,
and would not be considered Virtual Domains.
Now I am under the impression that I can have each account have a local Unix
account or I can set up a virtual_mailbox_domains parameter so that they
don't have to have a local UNIX account, but can still POP mail off the
server, by using mail.domainname.com as their POP mail server in their
Outlook.
Now the instance where they have a local Unix account, is not Virtual
Domains, that would be local users. But the situation where they are set up
in the virtual_mailbox_domains map is Virtual Domain set up.
I am also under the impression that one can use aliases (local account), and
mail list and one cannot not(Virtual Domain), we do need to use aliases and
mail list, so this is where the question comes to mind, which way should I
set it up for the most stable environment.
Can someone please tell me if I have this correct and if not explain why.
The two choices according to the book are called the following:
1st choice is called Shared Domains with System Account
2nd choice Separate Domains with Virtual Accounts
My second question is this, will each of those options above be ok with a
standard POP server, or will I have to use Imap with one of them and not the
other, I want to use regular POP3 server that comes with Red Hat ES 3, which
is ipop3.
And which can use aliases and mail list.
Again thank you for your time, I apologize, but it is not sinking in yet.
