I know how to implement 'a solution'. It is probably not the best, nevertheless, I use this methodology (I manage about 10 domain names). It works with FBS out-of-the-box. YOu have to create unique unix accounts for every user. To do this prepend every user name with a suffix to identify which domain they reside in. (this makes it easy to erase a bunch of domain names when a domain stops hosting with you as well). DOMAIN NAME -> SUFFIX for unix level username marinasancarlos.com -> msc stim.com -> sti thebiglebowski.com -> tbl Next, take care of incoming mail with some sendmail configuration tweaks in /etc/mail/virutalusertable: @marinasancarlos.com msc-%1 @stim.com sti-%1 @thebiglebowski.com tbl-%1 (don't forget to add all these domains to your /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file) (don't forget to go to http://www.sendmail.org/ to figure out how to set up a virtualusertable) Now, tell your users their POP accounts are msc-sales, msc-support, tbl-support, etc. (don't forget to make these accounts with 'adduser'!)
