Binding to multiple IPs

Say you want to bind to multiple IPs assigned to your server, but not all IPs, and aren’t quite sure how?  As it turns out, this is easy.

In the Default Domain GUI you have your “Domain IP” to which you can then “Restrict connections to this IP”, which will bind MDaemon to a single IP address.

You can’t add multiple DomainIP lines to the INI file, but there is a trick you can use, we rely on the fact that each secondary domain can be bound to it’s own IP address, but those IPs will service requests for all domains as long as the user logs in using their full email address.

To bind 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 to MDaemon but not 10.0.03, bind 10.0.0.1 to your primary domain, then bind 10.0.0.2 to a secondary domain called mail-2.example.com (where example.com is your real domain, and mail-2.example.com is the DNS record assigned to 10.0.0.2), rinse and repeat for each additional domain.

Hope this helps.

Cheap SSL Certificates

I often see discussions about where to get reasonably priced SSL certificates, and so I’d like to share my source.

For some time I’ve been using a RapidSSL reseller called “RapidSSL Online

Unlike much of the competition, their prices start at $14.95USD/year, offering 128 / 256 bit single root SSL certificate.

I have no affiliation with them beyond being a satisfied customer, and I receive no compensation for this referral, I simply detest some of the larger players charging substantially more for what is ultimate the same thing.
