You'll have to update each one everytime you add a domain.
Unless you come
up with some kind of script to automate it for you. I don't
use the include
directives, I'm pretty sure SurgeMail has them, so you might
be able to
come up with a surgemail.ini that is generic to each server
with an include
line that pulls in the server specific info. Then you could
automate
copying the surgemail.ini to each server on demand.

Well, at least I'll only have to update a couple of
servers everytime I add a domian...   I guess it could
be a lot worse..  

It would be cool if I could put the INI File in a
shared place and have all of the servers read it.

Thanks for the help,

__________________________________________________
Do You Yahoo!?
Tired of spam?  Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection
around 
http://mail.yahoo.com 

One of my users was complaining that his name was not
showing up on 
email being sent to addressees.  After a bit of testing I
have 
figured out that this is an "undocumented feature"
of the Webmail 
interface.  If one uses the default "Panel Set"
template it works as 
one would expect.  Namely the "Name" field is sent
so you 
see  something like Orin Wells only.  But if you use the
smooth 
parchment template (as this user was doing) all you see is
the email 
address orinwellsawasco.com.

Any chance we can get the different templates to function 
consistently when sending email?

Or was this by design?

And while I am at it, is there some way to make the
reply-to-address 
look like "Orin Wells" <orinwellsawasco.com> on the receiving end 
instead of just orinwellsawasco.com?  It appears
that surgemail 
forces a replyto address of just the email account unless
you stuff 
something else in the default reply to address.  And it does
not seem 
to be possible to force anything into this field other than
an email 
address and have any hope it will work.  I would like to see
"Orin 
Wells" <orinwellsawasco.com> as the reply
to so that when I look 
through my out box I can see the person to whom I sent a
reply.  If 
someone has an account that is somthing like "Robert
Smith" 
<bigdogsomeplace.com> all I am going to see is 
"bigdogsomeplace.com" in the outbox.

It may have been by design. One could almost certainly fix
that by 
modifying the template/variable in question to match the
other one.
If you can't figure it out let us know.

Start by viewing each source file to find out the template
name to 
examine, then look for the variable that is being used for
each case.

We will look into that.

Just out of curiosity, why not: Orin Wells <orinwellsawasco.com>? 
Why the quotes?
