Creating Email IDs for an Additional Domain

If you’ve added a new domain to your hosting account, you may also want to create unique email addresses for it. This guide explains how to create email IDs for an additional domain in your control panel.

Steps to Create Email IDs for an Additional Domain:

1. Create a user in the control panel.

2. Login via shell and navigate to the user’s mail directory:

   1.  /home/virtual/domain_name/var/spool/mail/
3. Locate the symlinks for the user. For example, if there is a user test under the primary domain “abc.com”, you’ll see:
   1. [email protected] —> test (mail)
   2. test#abc.com —> test (SSH)
4. Change the symlinks to point to the additional domain.
   1. Eg: If there is a user test with the primary domain abc.com you get
      [email protected] —> test –corresponds to mail
      test#abc.com —> test –corresponds ssh
5. This will create a mailbox for [email protected].
