  • Secondary email (netmail) domain restrictions?

    From Waethorn@1:103/705 to All on Monday, September 12, 2022 15:31:31
    If I add another domain via the domains.cfg file, does Synchronet automaticallycreate aliases for every user (new or existing) on those secondary domainsusing their existing email username part? I want to make sure it doesn't as Ihave some alternate addresses for myself on different domains that I want touse for admin purposes (likely via alias.cfg) without other users getting emailon those domains. I only want them getting messages via the system domainspecified in SCFG.

    Oh, and I realize I'll still need to set up the appropriate MX and anti-spam DNS records for the additional domains.

    Yes.

    You could create a mailproc event to specifically reject emails for your alternate domains for users other than your identified user (sysop).

    Is that a question?
