EmailArchitect Email Server supports multiple domains. The maximum number of domain it can support is restricted by the license agreement.
To configure domain settings, you have to logon as "system" user. Then click "Domains".
EmailArchitect Email Server supports 2 types of domain settings:
Local Domain
All user settings and emails are stored in current local machine.
The following options are provided in Local Domain settings: Max Users, Nobody Alias and Quotas Size. Only "system" user has the right to edit these options; domain administrator can only read these options.
Max Users limits the maximum number of users under this domain; Quota Size limits the maximum size of mailbox of a single user; Nobody Alias can be used to create a Catch-All account. e.g. You can create an user named "default" in domain "adminsystem.com", and input default@adminsystem.com into Nobody Alias field. Any email sent to *@adminsystem.com will then be forwarded to "default@adminsystem.com".
Remote Domain
There is no user account in remote domain, all email sent to this domain will
be forwarded to a local domain, email address or a remote host if forwarding
function is activated.
Forward to a local domain
All email sent to this domain will be forwarded to the same user (username) of
specified local domain.
Forward to an email address
All email sent to this domain will be forwarded to the specified email address.
Forward to a remote host
All email sent to this domain will be relayed to the specified remote host. If
no host is specified, the emails will be relayed via dns lookup.
Recipients Control in Remote Domain
For most email servers, every email to the remote domain will be accepted no matter the recipient is. For example, there is a remote domain named "testdomain" in the server, it will forward all email to (*@testdomain) this domain to another remote server, even the user doesn't exist on the remote server. That will consume a lot of networking resource. In the contrast, the administrator can set the valid recipients list in remote domain of EmailArchitect Email Server, any email to invalid recipients of remote domain will be rejected by EmailArchitect SMTP Service directly.
Delete Domain
Caution: Once a domain is deleted, all configuration files and user folders can't be restored. If you just want to disable current domain temporarily, you can uncheck "Active" in domain setting.
Default Domain
when the user logon to SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 service, the user need to use his email
address(user@domain) as the user name.
e.g.
myemail@mydomain.com
But if the domain is set to default domain, then the user can logon SMTP/POP3/IMAP4
service without domain.
e.g.
just use myemail as the username to logon SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 service is ok.
