Howdy,
That's correct, as none of the "mail.domain.tld" names are setup in Apache to serve websites. Because if that, they'll be given the default domain.
To access webmail, you can use "webmail.domain.tld", which is setup in Apache by default for all domains.

Thanks Eric!
ah ok, but how do i then prevent google from showing
mail.otherdomain.com
when i want it to show
www.gran-canaria-info.com ?
(bit confused)
Howdy,
Hmm, I'm not sure I follow.. what problem is it you're having exactly?

ok sorry, Eric, guess I wasn't really clear.
I have a site, www.gran-canaria-info.com that i had (have) as the default site for an ip when i was still working on it without it being live under that domain name.
It is live now, under its own domain name.
I wanted to google to see if showed up.
The site showed up, but with for example this domain name:
mail.grancanariacongress.com
now, grancanariacongress.com is another site, but mail.grancanariacongress.com is indeed showing gran-canaria-info.com.
I dont' knwo why google found mail.grancanariacongress.com, and what to do about it. I can set another site as default for that ip address, but, isn't there another way to not show "mail.website.com". Is it a wrong dns setting or so to have it show as a website at all?
Thanks!
p.s. I've changed that default domain for the ip now...
