If you\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\r\n

Steps to Create Email IDs for an Additional Domain:<\/h3>\r\n
    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Create a user in the control panel.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Login via shell and navigate to the user\u2019s mail directory:<\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    1. \u00a0\/home\/virtual\/domain_name\/var\/spool\/mail\/<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
    2. Locate the symlinks for the user. For example, if there is a user test under the primary domain “abc.com”, you\u2019ll see:\r\n
        \r\n
      1. test@abc.com \u2014> test (mail)<\/li>\r\n
      2. test#abc.com \u2014> test (SSH)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
      3. Change the symlinks to point to the additional domain.\r\n
          \r\n
        1. Eg: If there is a user test with the primary domain abc.com you get
          test@abc.com \u2014> test \u2013corresponds to mail
          test#abc.com \u2014> test \u2013corresponds ssh<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
        2. This will create a mailbox for test@pqr.com.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
