Hi there,

There was a post on this issue back in 2012 at http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic3998 … users.html . At that time this was the reply:

iRedAdmin-Pro doesn't support rename domain directly, sorry. But alias domain should work as expected.

Will try implementing this in future release.

I don't see anything in my current version to do this, so I'm assuming that it has not been implemented.

If I want to change the domain for some users from abc.com to xyz.com, it seems easy enough to rename /var/vmail/vmail1/abc.com to /var/vmail/vmail1/xyz.com. That should work, right?

Then do I simply do a search for all instances of abc.com in the database and rename them to xyz.com?

Thanks.


Craig

Rename /var/vmail/vmail1/abc.com to xyz.com is not enough, you should replace all email addresses which end with '@abc.com' to @xyz.com in SQL database.

If some email addresses (@abc.com) are assigned as alias members, you should replace them too.

Re: Rename domain

But I'm correct that the only changes required are in /var/vmail/vmail1 and the database? No changes in any configuration files?
