Hi Jay, I think you should change '*.haderach.net' to 'www.haderach.net' What you are trying to accomplish with the '*.haderach.net' should actually be done with something called a dns wildcard. The dns wilcard is a standard setup for most hosting companies these days I believe, otherwise you might need to have your network admin setup the wildcard entry for you. Basically it just points all sub-domains back to the root domain unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Then, you can use Apache vhost config to route traffic once it arrives at your server based on the requesting URL (as you did with the 'mail.haderach.net' vhost entry). If you don't have access to your dns setup you can also accomplish this using mod_rewrite (assuming you have mod_rewrite). Just put an entry in a .htaccess at the docroot like so: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mail.haderach.net RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /usr/local/www/squirrelmail/$1 This is just an example and would probably vary a little based on your setup.
