VERP and multisite
September 16, 2009, 08:40:40 pm
In a multisite situation where companies are setup as subdomains of a hosting site - e.g. co1.hosting.com, co2.hosting.com.  All emails will go out with email addresses like co1@hosting.com, co2@hosting.com.  However, for the bounced emails coming back in using VERP, they will be addressed to xxxxx.xx.xxx@hosting.com, yyyyyyy@hosting.com, etc.  Will the CiviMailProcessor of each site be able to distinguish which bounced mails actually belong to this site and which are not?  And if not, does it mean that each site must have its own unique domain name in order for Civimail bounce processing to work properly?

Thanks

Sort of solved the problem by adding a mail filter to the general mail account to forward the bounced mails to the corresponding co1, co2 mail accounts based on the contents of the emails.

You can (for unisite at least) add a prefix to your email address (the address is in the form, using your terms, co1+x.xxx.xxxx@hosting.com and all messages are handled by the co1@hosting.com account) (Your mail server needs to support this format - Postfix calls it sub-addressing)

The setting is under CiviCRM > Administer CiviCRM > CiviMail > Mail Accounts.

I'm not sure if this helps for multisite (can one have co1+... and co2+... addresses?), but may be a lead. I'm sure it would be simple to implement your mail filter idea.
