Advanced Configuration
Depending on your mail requirements, you may want to read some of the advanced configuration topics:
- You can set up an alias for the official host name (that was entered when installing IMail Server), so that IMail Server can recognize another name as valid. For example, you could set up an alias so that both user@mail.domain.com and user@domain.com are valid addresses. To set up an alias, see "Setting Up an Alias for a Mail Host".
- If the server will receive mail for multiple domains, each with its own set of users (example, for domain1.com and domain2.com), see "Adding an Additional Mail Host".
- If you want your mail server to function as an SMTP mail gateway for proprietary mail systems such as Microsoft Exchange or CC:Mail, see "Setting Up IMail Server as a Mail Gateway".
- If you have a dial-up Internet connection from your mail server to an Internet Service Provider (ISP), allowing you to receive mail from an account with your ISP, see "Setting up a Dial-up Internet Connection".
- If you want to set up IMail Server as a backup mail server for another server, see "Setting Up IMail Server as a Backup Mail Spooler".
- If you want to spread user accounts across two or more physical computers, you can set up "peer" servers. For example, mail sent to domain.com is processed by both host1.domain.com and host2.domain.com. See "Setting Up "Peer" IMail Servers" for more information.
- If you want to specify how your mail server relays mail for other servers, see "Chapter 9: Security and Antispamming" for information.
