This section demonstrates how to create domain and user account.
"system" is a built-in administrative account for EmailArchitect Email Server which has full permission to manage all settings in the server such as service, domain, user account and etc... This acount doesn't have a real mailbox, that means this account can't send/ receive email. Before you can modify any setting, you are required to set the password of "system" account. You can set the password from "All Programs"->"EmailArchitect Server"->"Enterprise Manager->System Password".
After the password is set, you can logon Web Access of EmailArchitect Server to add domain and user account from "EnterpriseManager->Web Access". You can also click here to logon Web Access, the UserId is "system".
You can access to Web Access remotely by "http://[host name or IP address]/emailarchitect". e.g. If the email server is "mail.adminsystem.com", then you need to enter this address "http://mail.adminsystem.com/emailarchitect" in web browser location bar.
After you logon Web Access as "system" user, choose "Domains->New Domain". Suppose the domain name is "adminsystem.com", you just need to input "adminsystem.com" in the domain field (don't change other options) and click "OK". The domain "adminsystem.com" will then be created. To learn more detail about Domain Settings, please refer to Domain Administration.
After the domain is created, the domain menu will be displayed on the screen, you can click "User Management->New User" to add an user. e.g. You can add an user named "test". Once the user is created, you can logout Web Access and use "test@adminsystem.com" as UserId to logon Web Access. Now Web Access is switched to the Web Mail, you can send/receive emails using this account. To learn more detail about Domain Settings, please refer to User Administration
To let other email servers deliver emails to local domain correctly, you are required to set MX record in your DNS Server. Besides, you need to assign the IP address of current machine to the MX record.
To make the server sending/receiving email correctly, you should open the following incoming ports in your windows firewall and router.
| Port | Description |
| 25 | SMTP Incoming Port |
| 465 | SMTP SSL Incoming Port |
| 110 | POP3 Incoming Port |
| 995 | POP3 SSL Incoming Port |
| 143 | IMAP4 Incoming Port |
| 993 | IMAP4 SSL Incoming Port |
| 80 | Http WebMail Incoming Port |
| 443 | Http WebMail SSL Incoming Port |
| 7328 | Remote Object Call Port(It is not a MUST if you do not use EmailArchitectObject to access the server remotely) |
Now, more and more SMTP servers check the domain SPF record to prevent junk e-mail.
If you don't set SPF record in your domain dns server, email sent from your domain
will be marked as junk e-mail by many anti-spam filters. So SPF record MUST be set
up on your DNS server. To learn more, please refer to:

If you add a domain named "adminsystem.com", you should add a MX record named "mail.adminsystem.com" in DNS server. You also need to set DNS server to resolve (Add a A record named "mail.adminsystem.com" and set IP address of the email server to this record) "mail.adminsystem.com" to the IP address of the email server.
