Editing Domains
Editing a domain can be initiated in three different ways. To get started, click
the Manage button on the main toolbar. Then select the domain that you would
like to edit and do one of three things: 1) Click the Edit icon on the action
toolbar, 2) Right-click the selected domain and select Edit from the drop-down
list, or 3) Double click the selected domain.
Editing a site is very similar to adding a new site. No changes will be applied
on any page until the Save icon is clicked.
Options
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.
IP Address - 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.
Folder 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.
Mail List Username - This is the email address that List Serv commands can
be sent to via email.
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
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.
Technical Information
SMTP Port - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) uses a port 25 on the server
as a default. 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) - Enable alternate SMTP port which 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
both the SMTP port and the alternate SMTP port, as both will be available simultaneously.
POP Port - Post Office Protocol (POP3) uses port 110 on the server as a default.
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 port 143 on the
server as a default. 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 port 389 on the server as a default. 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.
Logout URL - – Enable logout URL and you can enter any site which you would
like users redirected to when logging off.
Auto-Responder Exclusions - This allows you to choose who will receive an
auto-responder based on the spam level of the original message.
Forwarding Exclusions - This allows you to choose what mail can be forwarded
based on the spam level of the message.
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.
Enable once per day per sender auto-responder restriction - Enable this if
you want to put a restriction on the auto-responder frequency.
Disable Greylisting - Check this box if you wish to disable greylisting spam
filtering for your mailbox. Greylisting is an effective anti-spam method but does
have possible disadvantages.

Priority
This tab allows System Administrators to prioritize or deprioritize the remote delivery
of certain messages. All messages default to a priority of 5 with a range of 1 to
10. Messages assigned a priority of 10 will have the highest priority and will be
delivered first, while messages assigned a priority of 1 will have the lowest priority
and will be delivered last.
The use of message delivery priorities also gives system administrators the ability
to create automated actions based upon that priority. A common use would be to set
up a separate specific outbound gateway to handle all mailing lists to avoid potential
blacklisting of the primary IP and to efficiently deliver all messages. The system
administrator could then assign all mailing lists a priority of 1, and would set
up a gateway to handle only messages with a priority range of 1 to 1. (For more
information on setting up a Gateway Server, see the Gateway Servers help page in
the Settings folder.)
Standard Messages– Enable this and set a priority for any message sent by
a domain that doesn’t have another priority already affecting it.
Mailing Lists – Enable this and set a priority for a message being sent by
a mailing list.

Second Delivery Attempt – Enable this and set a priority for emails that

Third Delivery Attempt – Enable this and set a priority for emails that were
not successfully sent on the first and second tries.
Throttling
Throttling allows System Administrators to limit the number of messages and/or how
much bandwidth a domain, user, or mailing list can use for sending email per hour.
Once the throttling threshold is reached, messages will stop sending until that
that hour expired. At that time, the system will resume sending messages.
Messages per Hour – Enable this and enter the number of messages a domain
is allowed to send per hour. (Default is set at 5000)

a domain can receive in an hour. (Default is set at 1000)
