how to redirect mail.anydomain to the webmail vhost

[Ovidiu]

thx, that actually helped, now if you could help me out getting mail.* to work for all domains, so that basically mail.whateverdomain.com wil lead to my squirrelmail installation, that woudl be great :-)

same problem here, installed ispconfig 3, everything was fine, 2 days, and from that on, problems like not making anymore mail accounts, using only 3- 4 mail accounts max, or it s making me only on one of the test sites, but for the tothers not making, exactlly now i m trying to reinstall ispconfig 3 on a centos 5.2 server, i hope will not get same problems ...
one other thing ... i have a domain of my own, domain.com let s say , i am trying to make mail accounts for that domain, but no chance.. isconfig created the mail account, let s say admin@domain.com , but is not receiving anything, i can send e-mails, but no receive .... the eror i m getting in the mail that i m sending from is a replay from mailer-daemon that the account doesn t exists.

one other problem is with fresh new e-mail accounts, each one of them is not registered in var/vmail/domain and trying to connect in that account newlly created i get "connection dropped by IMAP server "

any ideeas ???

i m telling again, i m reinstalling ispconfig 3 on a centos 5.3 the problems that i had were on a fedora 10 server

@Amorphus: This is all not related to this thread. If you have any problems with creating email accounts, please make a new thread.

hope this helps , i just found out myself


go to /etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled/mail.domain.comvhost

assuming u allready created a website mail.domain.com, there u will find the virtualhost settings:

the settings initially look like this

<Directory /var/www/mail.domain.com> ( change this to /usr/share/squirrelmail )
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/mail.domain.com/web ( change this to /usr/share/squirrelmail )

ServerName mail.domain.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@mail.domain.com ( change this with your real e-mail address , eg.: master@domain.com )

ErrorLog /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/mail.domain.com/error.log (u can leave the error logs in the same place just for not complicating the settings from webmail )

ErrorDocument 400 /error/400.html
ErrorDocument 401 /error/401.html
ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html
ErrorDocument 405 /error/405.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html
ErrorDocument 503 /error/503.html

<Directory /var/www/mail.domain.com/web> ( change this to /usr/share/squirrelmail )
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

# ssi enabled
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
Options +Includes
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/clients/client1/webXX/web> ( u can leave it unchanged)
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

# ssi enabled
AddType text/html .shtml
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
Options +Includes
</Directory>

# cgi enabled
<Directory /var/www/clients/clientX/webXX/cgi-bin> ( leave this unchanged )
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/clients/clientX/webXX/cgi-bin/ ( leave this unchanged )
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
# suexec enabled
SuexecUserGroup webXX clientX
# mod_php enabled
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5
php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fwebmaster@mail.domain.com" (change the e-mail address )
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/clients/clientX/webXX/tmp (same unchanged )
php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/clients/clientX/webXX/tmp (unchanged )


</VirtualHost>




in the end the final vhost settings will look like this:

<quote>

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
AllowOverride None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /usr/share/squirrelmail

ErrorDocument 403 /error/403.html
ErrorDocument 404 /error/404.html
ErrorDocument 405 /error/405.html
ErrorDocument 500 /error/500.html
ErrorDocument 503 /error/503.html

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
Options FollowSymLinks

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
# suexec enabled

# mod_php enabled
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .php5
php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -fmaster@domain.com"
php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/clients/clientX/webXX/tmp
php_admin_value session.save_path /var/www/clients/clientX/webXX/tmp


</VirtualHost>

restart httpd and ure done

Accesing http://mail.domain.com u will get the answer http://mail.domain.com/src/login.php

This is strictly for squirrelmail, but i think it can work easilly
NOTE: do not try to set the location directl;y to the src folder, it won t work trust me i tryed allready


i hope it helps u at least for me worked perfectly

AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny

and every virtual domain will have a www.virt-domain.com/webmail

I get this:

Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/share/squirrelmail/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/clients/client2/web2/web:/var/www/clients/client2/web2/tmp:/usr/share/php5:/var/www/typo3_src) in Unknown on line 0

adding this to apache directives for each Site seems to work nicely

Redirectpermanent /webmail http://MY_IP_ADDRESS/webmail

just make sure a symlink called webmail is set up in apache root im my case /var/www/ (on Debian) to /usr/share/squirrelmail/
