Automation with Web Services

SmarterMail was built with custom configuration in mind. In addition to being able to customize the look and feel of SmarterMail, developers and/or System Administrators have the ability to code to the SmarterMail application using several different web services. These web services allow developers and/or System Administrators to automate a variety of different things: add domains to SmarterMail on the fly, grab domain-specific bandwidth usage for billing purposes, set details on a specific domain or server, update domain information, test servers added to the Web Interface, and more.

To view the web services and the corresponding functions available to you, go to your default Web Interface install location and append "services/SERVICENAME.asmx". Your particular SmarterMail location can be the specific IP address of the Web Interface (e.g. if you installed SmarterMail with the default installation you would use http://127.0.0.1:9998/services/SiteAdmin.asmx, etc. or a specific IP address you assigned for the Web Interface if you custom-installed SmarterMail or moved SmarterMail to a new web server) or a specific site name if you configured SmarterMail as an actual website within IIS (e.g. mail.example.com). Below you will find a brief explanation of the web services available to you, along with the default installation paths to the specific web services details page.
