Handling mail for the server's hostname

Hello, I notice that in Froxlor, you can't set up a domain that's the same as the server's host name.

 

How then is email for the server's hostname handled?

 

For example, if my server's hostname is somedomain.com and I haven't set up somedomain.com as a domain with email accounts in Froxlor (because you can't), how would mail@somedomain.com be handled when it arrives?

 

Would it be handled by the configurations in /etc/aliases instead?

 

I'm a little confused. Thank you in advance!

That's why it's wise to use "froxlor.domain.tld" for froxlor so you can still use "domain.tld" as customer :) 

 

But anyway, yes, the mail-aliases handle this domain (as it is not found in the virtual domain list)

      Only hostname E-Mail adresses are getting answered.
      By thunfischbaum
      Hi everyone,
      just a little problem here. I have severa domains registered on my froxlor installation and a different hostname of course. So let's say domain1.de is my hostname. The second domain, which is used by a customer is called domain2.de . When I view the mail.log I am not able to find my connection request. I do only see the bruteforce bots with example@domain1.de connecting. But any example@domain2.de request is not getting forwareded. I did configure the installation accordingdly with the provided templates.
      Best regards,

      Froxlor auf Subdomain bereitet Probleme
      By Jason Szymanski
      Hallo,
       
      ich habe leider ein Problem mit Froxlor.
      Zu meiner Situation: Froxlor läuft auf der Subdomain web01.meinedomain.net
      Jetzt möchte ich die Domain aber auch noch weiter Nutzen und habe mich daher als Kunde angelegt und die Domain meineDomain.net als Domain hinzugefügt.
      Dort kann ich auch weitere Subdomains hinzufügen. Das scheint soweit auch zu klappen ich sehe das er VHosts anlegt und auch die Verzeichnisse im FTP anlegt.
      Wenn ich jetzt allerdings versuche auf meinedomain.net oder eine andere Subdomain unter dieser Domain zuzugreifen leitet er mich auf web01.meinedomain.net
      Ich habe mich schon in den Einstellungen umgeschaut konnte aber keine entsprechende Einstellung finden an der das liegen könnte.
      Wie verhindere ich also das er mich auf Froxlor umleitet?
       
      Mit Freundlichen Grüßen

      No E-Mail Mailboxes
      By thunfischbaum
      Hi everyone,
      I'm running a Debian 10 Buster Server with PHP7.3 installed. The PHP7.3 update is the new component in the system. since then, I can't find any Mailboxes. There are no folders in the var/customers/mail/[customer] directory.
      If you take look at the Screenshot, you see, that the E-Mail adress is existent in Froxlor. 

      Mail Bounce

      If I missed a log, please let me know, so I can attach it
      Best regards,

      Custom folder where email folders are stored
      By nisamudeen97
      Hi,
      Wile doing migration of email accounts from one froxlor server to another I have noting some thing.   Expecting some clarification on this.  As we all know emails are normally stored in the location "/var/customers/mail/user/domain.com/user/Maildir/" .   I create email accounts via froxlor panel and copy the email files directly via scp or rsync from old server to new.  The strange thing I have noticed is it is not coping custom folders and its emails like we have in source.  
      The solution I have found for this is to use imapsync between old and new.  imapsync is preserving custom folders like as it is in source.    Does it mean custom folder settings are stored somewhere else?  How we can preserve it and copy emails manually?
