Domain – How to add a second domain to Kerio

domaindomain-name-systememail-serverkerio

We're running Kerio MailServer 6.7 and Apple OS X Server 10.5. I was wondering if it is possible to add a second domain to the mail server. Currently the mail server is on "examplemail.com" we would like to eventually move this to "mail.exampleserver.com".

The problem is that users already have the old server address in their email client and it will take time to change this but if we can somehow slowly move users to the new address that would be better. I can see were to add the domain under Kerio (Configuration->Domains) but I feel like there is more to it that this.

I'm not really sure what the best approach is for something like this.

Thanks,

Once the MX entries are in place and correct, you should set a domain alias (mail.examplemail.com) to the examplemail.com. This way, mails will be delivered for both user@examplemail.com and user@mail.examplemail.com (if that is the primary domain, user authentication won't change, requiring only the username). When happy and sure that every client is updated, rename the domain to mail.examplemail.com, restart the server and delete the now-alias examplemail.com.

As reference: http://manuals.kerio.com/connect/adminguide/en/sect-domrename.html for renaming and http://manuals.kerio.com/connect/adminguide/en/sect-domalias.html for aliases.

hope it helps
