I am having trouble fully understanding the capabilities of NS8 being able to handle multiple email domains connected to different account providers. Simply put, I have domain1.com and domain2.com, Aprovider1 and Aprovider2, obviously I want to connect Aprovder1 to domain1 and Aprovider2 to domain2.com
There are many old threads related to NS7 and different scenarios, but I get confused.
Would somebody be able to explain in relatively simple wording and with some examples what exactly IS possible on NS8 regarding multiple email domains and account providers .
Maybe @LayLow is refering to the option to use LDAPserver1 for Domain1 and LDAPserver2 for Domain2âŠ
These could be accordingly on node1 and node2.
No IP or port issues
Example:
Node1:
LDAPserver1
Mailserver1
MailDomain1
Node2:
LDAPserver2
Mailserver2
MailDomain2
As âacount providerâ.
AD / LDAP would also be an option for some users here.
2 Mailservers on the same node would not work, as ports 25, 143, 993, 578 (whatever) canât be used by two âserver-appsâ on the same node due to port conflicts.
Same goes for account providers.
It seems like this topic has been discussed before, but itâs great to see continued interest in it.
Given that youâre asking about it, it appears this feature is quite important to you. Is it something that could be a game changer for your project?
Are you aware of any open-source projects that already offer this feature? Have you had any experience implementing a multi-tenant mail service with it?
Sharing your experiences could be more insightful than just discussing the theory.
Given the current implementation of Ns8, i beleive it is actually feasible to implement multi-tenancy without alot of issues, contrary to popular belief.
All the building blocks are already pre-implemented with Ns8, ofcourse with NS7 would be hard but in NS8, youve actually done it without knowing that you have.
Afew tweaks to how the mail oruting to user is handled would perfectly achive multi tenancy.
However, it would require each tenant has its own Account provider, even if the accoutn providers re on the same Node.
this is mainly die to how some components are already implemented.
There are potentially alot of Opensource Email server implementations, some heavy and others Lite.
Mailcow is a popular One, thats implemented with Docker off the bat
Iredmail is another example, still light but more heavier than mailcow
Madoboa is another one
with all these solutions, the underlying technologies and components are the same that NS is also using.
It would be. In general I am confused on how we use all this technology, containers, clustering etc etc but lack the ability of a âsimpleâ email domain per account provider at the least.
My experience is that I miss the ability to have multiple seperate email domains on a single machine/node/vps/virtual machine.
