Mail domains



Description

TuxFamily can also manage your mails for your own domains or for *.tuxfamily.org. By requesting a mail service on the panel, you will be able to add as many mailboxes and forwards as you need to your domain.

This page only explain how to manage mail domains. To get useful informations about mails @tuxfamily.org, please refer to the User mails page

Dependences

Creation

As usual, login on the panel, select the project that will receive your new domain mail then use the create button in the mails domains section.

Creation tips

  • Make sure that you create a domain in *.tuxfamily.org or that you owns...

If you have your own domain

If you owns a domain (let's say mydomain.com), you probably want to create a mail domain for it.

TuxFamily can't sell domain names and is not going to give you domains. If you want one, just by one :) Maybe you should try with gandi (those guys rox ;) )

You can also, if you want, host your DNS on TuxFamily.

If you don't have a domain

In this case, you will have to use a mail domain in *.tuxfamily.org. Just ask for mymaildomain.tuxfamily.org

Beware of the dependancy with TuxFamily for your emails.
