Directadmin With a Mail Proxy

Mail proxy setup to have a common mail.domain.tld that proxies IMAP and SMTP connections to the appropriate DA servers.

Overview

When running multiple DirectAdmin servers, you may want to set up a centralized mail proxy. This allows users to connect to a single mail server address (e.g., mail.domain.tld) regardless of which backend server hosts their actual mailbox.

Benefits

• Simplified Configuration: Users only need to remember one mail server address
• Load Distribution: Distribute mail traffic across multiple DirectAdmin servers
• High Availability: Easier failover and redundancy setup
• Centralized Management: Single point for SSL certificates and security policies
