Subdomain addressing with FM?

Heartz · 8 Apr 2006, 11:21 PM

If I use my domain with FM. Can I achieve the following scenario?

Domain : MyFMDomain.tld

Can I get subdomain addressing?

i.e. can I have an address that looks like

Anything@companies.MyFMDomain.tld?

Thanks....

Yes, this works with aliases at Fastmail domains or virtual aliases at virtual (your private) domains.

I have a Fastmail alias I will call alias@sent.com. I can receive email at anything@alias.sent.com. So, for example, mail to this address will appear in my Inbox: one.two.three.four@alias.sent.com

This works in a similar fashion for Virtual Domains (private domains you own and enter in the Options > Virtual Domains screen).

Folder addressing will attempt to file incoming mail into the proper folder based on the subdomain. So emails to group@alias.sent.com will be filed in your group folder (if it exists). If there is no such folder, the message will be filed in your Inbox.

Excellent!

Now that means I can cut the extra layer of potential failure I have at my webhost and directly get mails delivered to FM.
