Multi-Domain Account Creation Error

[ukwuezeobinna]

I set up WildDuck using the easy install script, and it works just fine.

I would want to add another domain and from the resources that I have seen, all I needed to do was add the domain in the “Allowed Domains” and restart the services.

Domain 2 shows on the Webmail, but I can't create any account. I get an error that says that “this username already exists”.

What am I doing wrong?

In wildduck users have a username and a main address. If you create john@example.com in the webmail, it will set the username to john. If you then try to create john@example2.com, it can't because the username john already exists. You should be able to create a user with another username via the api just fine (john2 for example). It's just that the webmail account creation will use the local part of the address for the username.

I have limited dev experience. Is there a way to do this if I'm logged into the server via ssh? I will appreciate any help.

You need to use Wildduck API to create user accounts manually in such case or automate it using the API

The API and relevant command is documented here: https://docs.wildduck.email/api/#operation/createUser

You can for example use curl to invoke the API
