Hi, everyone.
Please tell us your ideas.
Google has written much in translation, can not speak English. I hope that come across.

The domain has been assigned to each of the six servers now. Has operated the home page in each. I think after you install the iredmail to one mail server did not assign a domain the domain of e-mail them, and you want to be managed together. (Virtual domain)

At this time, I want to be able to access at the address along to that domain.
aaa@example.com -> mail.example.com
bbb@bbb.net -> mail.bbb.net
Maybe, but we believe can be solved by specifying the mail server A record in the setting of DNS, possible? After, in the case of virtual domains, when you set up Outlook or Thunderbird server, I would like to specify in its domain name, possible?
aaa@example.com -> mail.example.com (pop/smtp)
bbb@bbb.net -> mail.bbb.net (pop/smtp)

Re: The operation of virtual domain

I guess i understood your question: Your iRedMail server serves mail hosting for 6 mail domains, for mail user 'aaa@example.com', you prefer to set POP3/SMTP server addresses to 'mail.example.com' in Outlook, Thunderbird. Am i right?

Let's say your mail server has IP address: 173.254.22.21, and it hosts 6 mail domains, includes 'example.com'. To achieve your goal, you have to point A record of 'mail.example.com' to 173.254.22.21, and MX record of 'example.com' to 173.254.22.21 too.

Hope it helps.

Re: The operation of virtual domain

Thank you for your help.
I will give this a try.
When the results are successful, you will be reported.

I do not have an understanding of how to use this forum, I'm worried that the answer can be well ...
