Virtual Hosting

Hi All,
    I have implemented the redirection of incoming emails with the same
usernames with different domains, ie admin@domain1.com and admin@domain2.com
however I have a burning question. Is there anyway at all to be able to have
both clients log into their email account using username 'admin' and
password 'whatever' and access there emails for the associated domain to
which they were sent. I know this is confusing to follow but I am hoping
some of you more familiar with James maybe able to help me out. Thank you
for your time and I look forward to hearing from any response which you may
have.

Kindest Regards,
    Matt Anderson

Hi All,
    Thank you serge for you reply. I greatly appreciate it however I have a
follow up question. If POP3 protocol has no support for my problem (shown
below) then it would be safe to assume that you would have to do this form
of redirection to other mailboxes on all email servers? Thanks again.

Kindest Regards,
    Matt Anderson

No.

See the part about how POP3 protocol has no support for that.  The FAQ
does describe a way to do virtual hosting, but you can't have the same
username mapped to different mailboxes.
