Adding a Domain
Add a domain by choosing New Domain from the Manage menu at the top of the page,
or by clicking on Add Domain in the Manage Domains page.
Adding a domain is a four page process (five on Enterprise Edition), with each page
containing related items. After completing each page, click on the Next button.
To go back to a previous step to correct something, click on the Back button. The
domain will not be saved until you click on the Save button on the final page.
Domain Information
Domain Name - Enter the full name of the domain (ex. smartertools.com). This
domain name must match one that is registered with a DNS server in order to send
or receive email.
Domain IP - From the drop down list, choose the IP address on which the domain
will listen for incoming requests. This setting does not affect the login to the
web interface, only to the IP used to listen for SMTP, POP, and IMAP traffic. This
IP address should match at least one MX record on your DNS server.
Mail List Command Address - This is the email address that List Serv commands
can be sent to via email. more
info
Disable Domain - Checking this box disables the domain. The domain will be
unable to send or receive mail, and no users of the domain will be able to log into
the web interface for this domain. This option is a good way to temporarily shut
off a domain without deleting it.
Domain Admin Information
Username - Enter the login name for the domain administrator (AKA "domain
admin"). The domain administrator is usually the owner of the domain or the technical
administrator. The domain administrator is responsible for adding and deleting email
accounts, and setting specific configurations for the domain.
Password - Enter the domain administrator's password for SmarterMail
Full Name - Enter the full name of the domain administrator.
Important Note: The creation of a domain administrator accout is required by SmarterMail
for each domain on the server.
Technical Information
Domain Path - This is the path to the directory where all information pertaining
to the domain resides (XML files, mail statistics, alias information, etc.). If
the directory does not already exist, it will be created. This path should be under
a directory solely dedicated to SmarterMail.
SMTP Port - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) uses a default port of 25.
If you would like to use a different port for SMTP on your server, enter it in this
box. It is not recommended that you change the default port unless you are behind
a firewall that requires this setting to be changed.
SMTP Port (Alternate) - This box allows you to open up an alternate SMTP
port. This is recommended if your email users access their email through ISPs that
restrict the standard port 25, which is becoming more common. Users will be able
to access their mail through either the SMTP port and the alternate SMTP port, as
both will be available simultaneously.
POP Port - Post Office Protocol (POP3) uses a default port of 110. If you
would like to use a different port for POP on your server, enter it in this box.
It is not recommended that you change the default port unless you are behind a firewall
that requires this setting to be changed.
IMAP Port - Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) uses a default port
of 143. If you would like to use a different port for IMAP on your server, enter
it in this box. It is not recommended that you change the default port unless you
are behind a firewall that requires this setting to be changed.
LDAP Port Enterprise Edition Only - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
(LDAP) uses a default port of 389. If you would like to use a different port for
LDAP on your server, enter it in this box. It is not recommended that you change
the default port unless you are behind a firewall that requires this setting to
be changed.
Technical Options
Require SMTP Authentication - Check this box if you want SMTP Authentication
to be used by the end users of the domain. Each user must then supply an email address
and password in order to send email from their account. SmarterMail supports two
authentication methods, Cram-md5 and Login.
Bypass Forward Blacklist - Check this to allow forwarding to any domain,
bypassing any forwarding blacklist entries set at the system level.
