Domain alias problem

Question

Hi Jay and all,
we are running Sun Java messaging 2004Q4 on solaris 9.
We want to create a domain alias so that our server can receive mails on different domain also.
Let's say we have already x.com and want y.com to be domain alias for it. So i ran this below script and it was successful
++++++
echo dn: o=x.com,dc=x,dc=com >>/sbin/ldap99.txt
echo changetype: modify >>/sbin/ldap99.txt
echo add: associatedDomain >>/sbin/ldap99.txt
echo associatedDomain: y.com >>/sbin/ldap99.txt
cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/shared/bin
./ldapmodify -D uid=admin,ou=people,o=x.com,dc=x,dc=com -w <admin-pass> -R -f /sbin/ldap99.txt
++++++++++++++
Now i suppose y.com has become an alias to x.com so that i can receive mails destined to [email protected] also and get them forwarded to the [email protected] mailbox (No need for user level aliasing again)
But when i say "telnet <mail-server> 25" and rcpt to:[email protected], it says "550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]".
it means that the vanity domain created successfully but not able to identify users already created on x.com (it did not throw the error - 550 5.7.1 Relaying not allowed: [email protected])
Please advise me.
TIA
Prvn

Hi,
Now i suppose y.com has become an alias to x.com so
that i can receive mails destined to [email protected] also
and get them forwarded to the [email protected] mailbox (No
need for user level aliasing again)You still need to add the user-level address attribute e.g.
mailalternateaddress: [email protected]
Just adding the associatedDomain attribute doesn't automatically result in emails sent to [email protected] being delivered to the mailbox of [email protected]
But when i say "telnet <mail-server> 25" and rcpt
to:[email protected], it says "550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal
alias: [email protected]".
Try adding the mailalternateaddress: [email protected] to the [email protected] account.

Shane.
