Is it possible to host email-only domains without a website in Enhance?

Hi Enhance community,

I have a specific use case that I'm hoping to get guidance on. Currently, when setting up a new domain in Enhance, it seems we're required to add a website configuration before we can create email accounts for that domain.

My Use Case:

I have domains where the website is hosted elsewhere
I only want to use Enhance for email hosting for these domains
Don't need any website functionality from Enhance for these domains

Questions:

Is there a way to set up email-only hosting for a domain without creating a website configuration?
If not currently possible, is this something that could be considered as a feature request?
Has anyone found a workaround for this scenario?

I think this would be a useful feature for cases where:

Website hosting is with another provider
The domain is used only for email purposes
Managing split services (website elsewhere, email on Enhance)

Would love to hear if others have similar needs or if there are existing solutions I might have missed.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

That's is possible , change your DNs Record and point your mail to your enhance server..

@elcapitanph But I can't seem to add emails for that specific domain unless I add it as a website first.
EDIT: And I don't want to add a website just so I can add an email, specially that adding a website requires server resources that are not needed.

You can work around this by creating a package with a very low disk size / resources and using it for email-only domains. It’s not ideal, but it will get the job done.

cPFence I believe storage also limits the email space?

Yes, but that only applies if the email role is on the same server. He can work around this by using a separate mail server for the email role.
