This section deals only with the administration of VPOPmail. If you want to know how email arrives in the proper directory read this guide: EmailProblemsAndSolutions.

vadddomain

The MX server is configured through the vpopmail commands:



We've created an account with vadddomain for the domain d2222.cco.uk, plus we've restarted qmail-sent so that it takes the newly created domain at /var/qmail/users/assign. In the folder for the domain, that's /home/vpopmail/domains/d2222.co.uk, vadddomain has created by default the postmaster account (that's an obligation from the RFC) and it has put in place .qmail-default where you'll find the vdelivermail that manages the distribution of email in the folders.

You can see the password for the accounts at vpasswd. That's an option which could worry some customers, but it's not dangerous in itself. All the vpopmail folders belong to vpopmail.vchkpw and cannot be read by anybody but vpopmail or root. You can recompile vpopmail to put the option to remove them.

You can perform this test to see if the email gets to the account locally:



Thus, the email has been delivered to the local. Therefore, it must be at:
/home/vpopmail/domains/d2222.co.uk/postmaster



The only thing pending is to buy the domain and configure the DNS so that your machine is the MX server for the domain.

vadduser
