    Anyone here who might know if it's possible to create an email address for a co-domain?

    Example. I have in ISPconfig a client who's main domain is: example.com
    Now he got an extra domain named: the2nddomain.com

    I've added "the2nddomain.com" in the co-domains, and now when going to "the2nddomain.com" it does show the "example.com" page.
    The client now also wants an email address for "the2nddomain.com" (it's only for receiving mail).

    Problem: How do I create this email address?

    A co-domain is an alias for another domain, which means it's not necesarry to create a seperate mailbox.
    In your case the2nddomain.com is an alias for example.com.

    If you create the following co-domains for example.com:

    co-domain 1:
    host = www
    domain = the2nddomain.com

    co-domain 2:
    host = (empty)
    domain = the2nddomain.com

    When an e-mail has been send to [email protected], the mail will also arrive at [email protected].

    Hi Hans.. I'm aware of what you are saying, but this is not what I'm asking. (or I'm misreadings your reply)

    I've got one main domain: example.com
    For that account, I've got one co-domain: the2nddomain.com
    Going to www.example.com, example.com, www.the2nddomain.com and the2nddomain.com works fine.

    The client has got email setup for @example.com
    Now he also wants an [email protected] email address.
    It's okay with him if it gets forwarded to the @example.com address.
    (note that the MX record for the2nddomain.com is setup okay.)

    So.. Question is.. How do I get ISPconfig to accept email for the2nddomain.com without creating a "main domain" account for it.

    Okay..

    I got it working.

    I needed to add the email address to the "virtusertable" (below the #### MAKE MANUEL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ####), and point it to the web17_info (the accout) of that user.
    After that I reload the file...
