    First of all, I´m a newbie
    I have installed "The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 10.04 [ISPConfig 3]" thanks for the excellent guide provided by Falko.

    My IP is dinamic, change almost every week. I have a cron do update the first two domains every five minutes, and it seems to work fine.
    In this server I have tree domais (domain.org; domain.eu and domain.ath.cx).
    All of the tree domains I can acess them from outside expl. "www.domain.org.
    I´m using freedns.afraid.org to update my dinamic ip.

    I can access e-mail acounts from http://mypublicIPaddress/webmail
    but I can´t access from the www.domain.org/webmail.

    I need some help to find why this is happaning.
    How can I setup the squirrelmail to access the e-mail aconts from www.domain.org/webmail.

    Thanks for your help!

    Miguel

    Squirrelmail is located in /usr/share/squirrelmail/
    The normal ISPConfig3 setup puts a symbolic link /var/www/webmail that points to the Squirrelmail location. Accessing your site by IP address looks in /var/www as the document directory. Accessing by domain name looks in /var/www/clients/client?/web?/web as the document directory. Put a symlink in the appropriate web directory that points to the Squirrelmail location. For example: If you are client1 and web1 do
    Code:
    ln -s /usr/share/squirrelmail/ /var/www/clients/client1/web1/web/webmail
    
    With your dynamic IP you are likely to lose emails when your address changes as it takes time to propagate through the net. Also, many or most dynamic IP ranges are blacklisted as mail servers so even if you get it working, your mails may be rejected by receivers. You need to relay through a fixed IP server somewhere to get around this.
