alternate domain
is there an easy way to offer mail from a domain other than the main domain to users in the main domain - e.g. user s7@foo.com would like to receive the mail sent to s7@bar.com -
i know there is a configutil setting where you tell ims all the domains it is ... would that take care of mapping users in the extra domain to the main domain (i.e. s7@bar.com to s7@foo.com) - what if i wanted to map them differently e.g. s7@foo.com receives the mail set to xyz@bar.com
thanks,
s7

I"m not exactly sure what you're asking for, but. . .
If you are asking "how do I get my Messaging Server to accept mail for more than the default domain, and deliver it to the existing users", then you want to look at "domain alias" in your ldap.
Not anything in configutil will help you. Configutil is just for the store portion of Messaging, and this is really an MTA issue.
If you're looking for something else, please help me understand what you're looking for.

Again, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for . . .
Alias domains allow all your users to receive mail under more than default domain addresses.
LDAP attributes,
mailAlternateAddress
mailEquivalentAddress
both allow a particular user to receive mail for multiple addresses.
If you want only a few users to receive mail from multiple domains, then you can add the domains, not as domain alias, and use one of the above attributes as an individual alias.

i already use those two attributes to provide different email addresses for users in the domain.
i need to provide the users with alternate domain portion of the email address too -i think domain alias is what i need, and perhaps mappings (because i mention, s7@abc.com may need to receive e-mail addressed to foobar@moose.net, e.g. s7 might not be common in the addresses).
thanks,

It sounds like you're asking to "alias" a new domain to your current one.That's called, "domain alias", and should be reasonably documented, at least here in this forum. Have a search for "domain alias", and see if that's what you need.
