Multiple Domains, Seperate Mailboxes.

[Spuddy]

Hello,

I currently have two domains setup to use mailstation. Works fine. However I would like

joebloggs@domain1.com & joebloggs@domain2.com to have seperate mailboxes. Unfortunately, mail to both domains gets put in the same mailbox.

Is this possible?


Thanks,

[HarryPotter]

Yes, the keyword is "virtual users"

Yes, the keyword is "virtual users"

Hi,

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately searching for "virtual users" under the mailstation forum isn't really giving me the results I'm looking for? I'm looking for a guide to setting up usera@domain1.com and usera@domain2.com as different mailboxes. They are currently the same mailbox.

Thanks,

Check this site:
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html

This will allow you to set up the users with separate mailboxes/domains and alias them properly. I have this set up on my DS1511+ with six different domains and the same username aliased to separate mailboxes on separate domains.

You'll also need to look up the man page for the vi text editor as you'll be editing main.cf as well.

Below are some instructions I came across (can't remember what site it's from but I did copy and save them for my own personal reference:



2. vi main.cf
3. Add this line at end:

virtual_alias_maps=hash:/usr/syno/mailstation/etc/virtual

4. Select virtual:
You can list any mail address to any username!

your_domain1.dk anything
tom@ your_domain1.dk TomPrivate
birthe@ your_domain1.dk BirthePrivate

your_domain2.dk anything
tom@ your_domain2.dk TomWork
birthe@ your_domain2.dk BirtheWork

5. Next you need to compile this file into virtual.db. Login with the PuTTYtel as: User=root, Password=your admin password.
6. Write this: /usr/syno/mailstation/sbin/postmap /usr/syno/mailstation/etc/virtual
7. Check it: cd /usr/syno/mailstation/etc
8. Write: dir
9. Now a virtual.db should be available on the server.
10. Now you need to restart the postfix program:

/usr/syno/mailstation/sbin/postfix stop
/usr/syno/mailstation/sbin/postfix start

11. Now you are done however please allow up to 1 minute before postfix is updated.

If you later change something in the “virtual”, remember to recompile it (step 6).

Also remember if you update the mailstation package or update the Diskstation OS it will overwrite any edits you made before. Backup your files!

Perfect Eric, just what I was looking for. Thank you.

Hi,
I followed all the suggestion with virtual users/domains.
multiple domains works fine but regardless of the virtual file all mail goes into one mailbox
I need multiple domains and seperate mailboxes for the same user in the different domains.
like peter@domain1.com and peter@domain2.com.
How can I do that, and where are the different mailboxes located?
Also can I have users that do not have a system login?

virtual

domain1.org anything
user1@domain1.org user1
user2@domain1.org user2

domain2.net anything
user1@domain2.net user1

domain3.com anything
user1@domain3.com user1


vmailbox


user1@domain1.org domain1.org/user1
user1@domain2.org domain2.net/user1
user2@domain1.org domain1.org/user2



vdomains

#virtual domains
domain1.org
domain2.net
domain3.com



main.cf
inet_protocols = ipv4, ipv6
mailbox_size_limit = 0
broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes
cyrus_sasl_config_path = /usr/syno/mailstation/etc
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
smtpd_sender_restrictions = reject_unknown_sender_domain
smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes
smtpd_tls_cert_file = /usr/syno/etc/ssl/ssl.crt/server.crt
smtpd_tls_key_file = /usr/syno/etc/ssl/ssl.key/server.key

smtpd_tls_security_level = may

virtual_alias_domains = /usr/syno/mailstation/etc/vdomains
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/syno/mailstation/etc/virtual

#virtual_mailbox_domains = /usr/syno/mailstaion/etc/vdomains
#virtual_mailbox_base = /var/pool/vhosts
#virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/usr/syno/mailstation/etc/vmailbox
#virtual_minimum_uid = 100
#virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
#virtual_gid_maps = static:5000


myhostname = domain1.org

Thanks
for any help

Hello, Erics guide worked for me.

[pstaub]

I'm glad to hear it.
I know I must be doing somthing wrong.
Where do you get the maolboxes for the different domains.
Do all of you users have a login on the server?

[Spuddy]

These Virtual mailboxes have stopped delivering mail since I updgraded to DSM 4.1-2636 and the latest MailStation.

I have ensured all the setting above are adhered to and even updated the virtual alias maps are pointing to the new location

virtual_alias_maps=hash:/volume1/@appstore/MailServer/etc/virtual

Any idea what the issue could be?

Code: Select all

mailserver.domain.com #<mailserver.domain.com #5.1.1 smtp; 550 5.1.1 <mailbox@domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table> #SMTP#

Please help, this is quite critical!

Thanks,

[HarryPotter]

Did you check if the vituel and virtual.db files are there?
Did you rebuild the virtual.db file?

I have the same problem. When i change my main.cf file with the 'virtual_alias_domains' and 'virtual_alias_maps' rules postfix stops running. I checked everything and use DSM 4.1-2647 at the moment.

Can anyone explain what is changed and if i can still can use virtual domains?
Thanks!

Great post. bookmark it and will try it later.

Has this been resolved? I've been putting off upgrading to DSM 4.1, still on 4.0, due to a large amount of issues reported with it. 4.2 is in beta and I'm getting quite out of date.

This would be very critical to me to have working properly, although I'm hearing 4.2 has some kind of multi domain support? Does it do what we want here, i.e. separate mailboxes? If it does have this support, is there a simple migration path from the hack here to the official support?

I have just unpacked my Synology and was trying to get it all working as mentioned above, but somehow I am not getting it to work. Now it could be ofcourse because I am new to Synology, but could also be due to, as mentioned, files moved to other location.

[HarryPotter]

Yes MailStaion and MailServer are now separated from firmeware/dsm and are optional packages.
Files of packages can be found on /volume1/@appstore
