Domain aliases using hosted domains

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Manel,

I did not follow the Kolab hosted domain guide at [1] to add new domains, I
used it only for ideas.
As described on my blog post [2], I used the Web Administration Panel to
add the new domains, and then modified kolab.conf by running my
addDomain.php script.

I believe that the Kolab hosted domain guide does not reflect the situation
of serving multiple domains which is implemented by the Add Domain
functionality of the Web Administration Panel in Kolab 3.0. The idea of
Kolab hosted domain supports hosting many users on a single domain, eg.
https://kolabsys.com/mykolab, which has different requirements for the LDAP
tree.

I hope this helps,
  Timotheus
