[ale] Anyone have experience hosting email for multiple domains?

[Richard Bronosky]

Brandon,
I can't get smtp authentication to hit the DB. I get failures to auth,
but mysql never logs any queries. (the first entry verifies that I
have the general query log enabled:

tail -f /var/log/messages /var/log/maillog /var/log/mysqld.log
==> /var/log/mysqld.log <==
                      2 Query       select version()

==> /var/log/maillog <==
