[Obm] managing two domains with obm

[Bert Haverkamp]

Hello all,

First of all thanks to Sylvain for answering my question. For
reference I've added his reply below.

I now have my two domains, "oatfield.nl' and "bertenselena.net" on one
mailserver that is configured in the global domain.
However I encountered two new problems after this hurdle.
First problem: I still can't create two users in the two domains with
identical names.
bert at oatfield.nl exists. When I now create bert at bertenselena.net it
complains that that name already exists. Is this a limitation in OBM,
or am I overlooking something?

Second problem:
My french is not very good.  I understand there is a problem
configuring the postfix update for the new user brjhaverkamp.
First of all can I switch these log messages to english? Secondly, if
not, can you see what I did wrong?

/var/log/messages:
May 31 21:14:52 hydra update.pl[32446]: INFO: [Entities::obmGroup]:

I hope someone can help me move forward on this.

Regards,

Bert
