Virtual Host Mail Accounts Not Working

Question

Hi. I have attempted to search the discussions for an answer to this, but haven't had much luck.
I have one server running 10.5.8. This server hosts 4 domains, 1 main and 3 virtual. Each domain needs an [email protected] email address. I have created a user in WGM named info and have created the short names for each domain: info (I assume the local domain short name doesn't need the domain.com added), [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] I have entered the 3 virtual hosts in Server Admin-->Mail-->Settings-->Advanced-->Hosting-->Enable Virtual Hosting section.
The issue is that when I configure Mail for each of the accounts, they are being treated as though they are aliases and not virtual host accounts. In other words, each account sees the exact same mail. When I check Server Admin-->Mail-->Maintenance-->Accounts I do NOT see the three additional virtual host accounts, so clearly they are not being created.
This same server is also the mail server, so each domain's DNS MX record is pointing to this server. Like I said, I can send and receive mail, but it goes to all the accounts simultaneously (as aliases would) rather than individually.
I've scoured the documentation, but cannot seem to find what I have missed here to prevent this from working as it should.
Does anyone have experience with a successful deployment of a situation similar to this one?

Answer 1

I do, indeed, have the addresses set up for one user, as you have ascertained. I suppose that I will alter the setup in the manner in which you describe. What is completely perplexing to me is that if you review Apple's documentation just after the section after describing Mail Forwarding (~pg. 37) you will see that Apple is saying I can set it up the way I have. Directly from the text as follows:
Virtual hosting is a method you can use to host more than one domain name on the
same computer and IP address, with overlapping mail user names.
For instance, a mail server can receive mail transfer requests for two domains,
mail.example1.com and mail.example.com, both of which resolve to the same IP
address. For mail.example1.com, the server would deliver mail to “[email protected]”
to a user mailbox for “bob,” while it would also deliver mail to “[email protected]” to
a different user mailbox. Virtual hosts are essentially the converse of local host aliases.
Again, I state that if this is to be true, then I should have the ability to assign one Open Directory account and give that account the four addresses as above with each having a separate user mailbox. The way it is behaving now is like aliases, not virtual hosts as Apple describes.
I'd love to understand why this is the case, perhaps I'm completely misunderstanding the text.
Thanks again for the help, I'll just create 4 accounts, easy enough.
