I’ve noticed that on creation of a new virtual server Virtualmin is creating a record for ServerAlias mail.domain.com (in httpd.conf) - is there a reason for this? We don’t need webmail and I’m pretty sure this has never happened on older installs of Virtualmin. If it’s not needed, where do we swit…

Yes, but you need to validate an TLS cert if you want to use it for any mail operation that needs a cert, and you can only validate mail.domain.tld if there’s a website for it, or if Virtualmin is managing DNS.

Is ServerAlias mail.domain.com needed?
