I set it up a few hours ago.  Now one computer recognizes the address and another doesn't.  I'm sure this will calm down in a few hours.  However, there seems to be another issue.

When I enter the redirect into the given box and hit save, it appears that a trailing / is being added on.  For instance, if I try to redirect to

http://foo.php

and hit save, the form responds with

webmail.nhclu.org is being redirected to foo.php

However, if I go back to modify the redirect, there is a trailing slash which has been added in.  This leaves me confused, and I think it is having bad consequences.
For instance, when I try to log onto squirrelmail,   I end up in an infinite redirect loop.

index.php/src/login.php
index.php/src/src/login.php
index.php/src/src/src/login.php

etc.

Have you seen this infinite loop?
If I change the redirect, do I need to wait another few hours for DNS to propogate?
What is the deal with the trailing / being added on to the redirect?

Thanks

If you created this domain, it may take several hours for it to be reconized throught the world. You should have seen this when making the subdomain:

Subdomains rely on the DNS system in order to function, which means that your DNS information must propagate throughout the different DNS servers on the Internet before your subdomain becomes fully active. This process on the average takes a few hours.

Just to give you a quick response to #3 - Its just the intial setup that takes a bit. The redirection will show up instantly.

I'm goign to have to take a closer look later on, if noone else knows the answer for the 1st two.

Since I wrote that original tutorial, it seems that CPanel has been upgraded a bit. I'll take a look into it soemtime soon. Is squirrel mail the only one that causes the problem?

Can you get horde and neomail to work as well?

I'm not sure if this is still a problem Daemonfly or if you have fixed whatever is happening.

Information has been updated to reflect changes in the mail setup. If its currently working for you - dont worry about anything! If your having problems setting it up, reread the new info in the first post.

Subdomains take 2-6 hours to work, they aren't like changing the domain nameservers as, if your nameservers are pointed to Lunarpages for the domain, then instead we create the subdomain records and it propagates off ours within 2-6 hours (usually immediately actually).
