I am setting up server running Fedora which have multiple domain names
pointed to the IP address of my server. I'd like to set up a single mail
server that can be used by each domain for mail (pop3 or imap I guess). I'd
like to set it up so that each domain can have mail accounts for their
individual domains.
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to setting up a mail server and even
more so trying to figure out the multiple domain names with one mail server.
For apache I use Name-Based Virtual Hosting to have one web server managing
multiple domains/web sites. Not sure how to do this with a mail server.
Any help or pointers to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Troyston,
I've marked your question and am waiting for an expert response, but after 2 days on this list there haven't been any and that's not usually a good sign.
I'm in the same situation as you setting up servers and virtual accounts, so I hope that sharing the documentation I am currently investigating might be of help to you, or possibly provoke a "no, no, *that's* not how you do it!" from someone smarter than me.
I am trying to do it with Dovecot - here is the document I am using: http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers
HTH, bob
You may want to look at webmin and virtualmin (webmin.com). Webmin is a web control panel for your system's services/configuration. It comes with usermin, which allows users to check mail, upload/download files, change their password, etc. VirtualMin is a Virtual Webhost control panel. It allows you to set up domains, correctly configuring virtual hosted mail, websites, ftp permissions, etc., and provides a control panel for the site owner to, e.g., create new email accounts, password protect directories, etc.
Webmin is available from the Dag RPM repository (wieers.com).
