Back at the admin console open your new post office and select domains, new domain. This step is needed as any post office can have many domains.
The screen show above opens when you select new domain. Type in the domain name. Of the three options you must select a postmaster user to comply with IETF rules that say there must be a working postmaster email address for all domains. The catchall address is just that. It will catch all email that is incorrectly addressed. These days, all it will do is catch a lot of spam. DO NOT enable the catchall of this domain uses the Barracuda spam firewall service. The act as smart host sends all mail for this domain to anther server. You would normally not use this feature. Click the help button for more details on these options.
When you click the ok button after adding the domain the above screen pops up. What this is asking is if you already had a domain setup in the post office and now you are adding another one, do you want the mail server to automatically add the alias for existing users. In other words you already have fred@somesite.com and now you are adding the domain somesite.net. If you click yes the mail server will create the alias so fred@somesite.com and fred@somesite.net both end up in the fred mailbox. For normal usage you would always answer yes to the above.
Next you need to setup an admin user for this post office. The postmaster account that you setup at the beginning is the default admin user but you may fins that your customers would rather use one of their normal email addresses as the admin. Right click mailboxes for the new domain you are setting up and select new mailbox.
Type in the mailbox name of the admin user. In our example we type in fred. This give us the user fred@somesite.com. From the dropdown menu select ADMIN as the user type. This will allow this user to be the admin for this post office via a web browser. At this point the domain is setup. You and your admin
user can access the admin section at: All users for all your domains can access Webmail at: You must use the whole email address as the user ID in mail software such as Outlook, Eudora, Thunderbird, etc. Also when logging into webmail or the admin web the whole email address must be used. In this example we created fred@somesite.com. That's what would be used as the user ID or username. Please visit the MailEnable site at: You can find detailed documentation at:
