When hosting a DNN account that utilizes child portals how are you configuring email accounts for child portals?  I am looking for a host that will allow the creation of email addresses that use the child domain name.   So far I am only finding hosts that use the parent portal domain for all emails, unless I am doing something wrong with my setup.
Thanks...

You're not doing anything wrong, the child portal always uses the parent SMTP address.  It's DNN, not you or the host.

Thanks Jeff.  Just so I am clear.  If I create a child portal with www.chidportal.com there is no way I can create mail accounts like user1@childportal.com, user2@childportal.com, etc?  It will always be user1@rootdomain.com?

You can create whatever accounts you wish, that's not a function of DNN, that would depend on your web host's email server and settings.  DNN though only has a single SMTP entry, at the host level.  There are third-party apps that can use other email addresses, like Onyaktech's, but for the DNN account settings you only get one email address per host, and it gets used in all portals on the host.

I appologize.  Perhaps I have posted in the wrong forum.  I was looking for specifics regarding hosting accounts.
Perhaps PowerDNN users, WebHost4Life, and others could help because I have tried other buget hosts and I am not having any luck.

Admins if you want to move this thread, let me know where it should live.
Thanks.
