Re: Change Domain Name

An easier way is: assign your new domain as an alias domain of old domain name. You can manage it with iRedAdmin-Pro:

1) Go to domain profile page
2) Click tab 'Aliases'. Add new domain as an alias domain name.

This should be better if your customers still contact you with old email address.

If you want to get rid of old domain name completely, there's more work to do:

*) Update all records in SQL database which contain old domain name.
2) Rename maildir path '/var/vmail/vmail1/[old_domain]' to '/var/vmail/vmail1/[new_domain]'.

Re: Change Domain Name

If you don't change the maildir part of the SQL, and only change the other columns then no, you will not need to change your directory structure.

Re: Change Domain Name

Column `mailbox.maildir` stores the mail domain name, so you will need to rename it if you changed `mailbox.maildir`.
