You should have an iis web site for each domain your hosting.
You can then use the MailEnable Management Console to configure webmail for your each IIS site. Pro manual outlines how to do this.

My mail server hosts several domains but they all use a single website for webmail. This seems to work fine so why would I want every domain to have its own website?

There are a few reasons - but these are probably the most significant:

1. They may want to have their own skin/branding and ent edn allows each IIS site to have different skins assigned. (Likewise with multiple languages).
2. The bandwidth can be billed under their w3c logs
3. Process isolation (1 web site wont necessarily bring down another)
4. Customer will typically want to login to http://www.theirdomain/mewebmail
5. Enterprise edition allows you to use the host header domain as the postoffice name. This can allow people to signin using their mbx name only.

Very interesting. I might have to make some changes.

Thanks, Roy...

I've set webmail and webadmin up with static IP's and dedicated IIS web sites. Then using DNS A record point "webmail.domain.com" to the webmail and webadmin IP's.

It take a little knowledge of IIS and DNS, but it's possible and very usefull.

how?
