Problem with secondary Domain

[aus0137]

We are running version 3.5 on NT4 server.

We have a primary and a secondary domain hosted.

If I create a new user in the primary domain I have no problems.

However if I create a new user in the secondary domain, I am unable to access mail account either by worldclient or outlook/outlook express.

In outlook express, I receive an error message that access is denied because of invalid password.

Have reset password etc with no luck.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi mate,

This sounds like you are not using the full e-mail address to login, but only the account name.

If this is the case, you need to use the full address in the form of "accountname@example.com" to login to a secondary domain, while a primary will login with just "accountname".

Hope this helps

Thanks for your help, that solved the problem.

As you say, if you just use the accountname, then mdaemon appends the primary domain.

Specified full accountname including domain and logged in OK.

Thanks again.

Hi mate,

The same also applies to mail recieved that is not a full e-mail address. For example if you sent mail to "webmaster" then the server appends the primary domain to that and delivers to [ignore]webmaster@example.com[/ignore].
