mail subdomain

Hi!

For my school network (which I administrate) I would like
(E-Mail Removed) for teachers and (E-Mail Removed) for students.

It is obvious that for the first one nothig extra is needer - but how
do I enable the student.school.com e-mail adresses?

Thank you in advance!

You create another MX record in your DNS and instruct your mail server
to process that domain too. Where you want to send the e-mails once
receive is another discussion.

student.school.com DNS would either need to be an A record pointing to the
receiving smtp server or would need an MX pointing to an A record of a
server.

As far as the server, whether using 1 or multiple servers, each one needs
to know what domain or hostname(s) it receives mail for (check server
docs or config to see how that is specified). A server can receive mail
for multiple names. For example my servers can receive mail for either
their public name or private name of private nic IP (using private DNS).
