Chapter 1 Mail Service Setup 25

Step 3: Configure incoming mail service

Your mail service has many settings that determine how it handles incoming mail. For

instructions, see “Configuring Incoming Mail Service” on page 26.

Step 4: Configure outgoing mail service

Your mail service also has many settings that determine how it handles outgoing mail.

For instructions, see “Configuring Outgoing Mail Service” on page 32.

Step 5: Secure your server

If your server exchanges mail with the rest of the Internet, make sure you’re not

operating an open relay. An open relay is a security risk and enables junk mail senders

to use your computer resources for sending unsolicited commercial email. For

instructions see “Limiting Junk Mail and Viruses” on page 46, and “Restricting SMTP

Relay” on page 47.

Step 6: Configure additional settings for mail service

Additional settings that you can change affect how mail service stores mail, interacts

with DNS service, limits junk mail, and handles undeliverable mail. See the following

sections for detailed instructions:

• “Working With the Mail Store and Database” on page 60.

• “Limiting Junk Mail and Viruses” on page 46.

• “Working With Undeliverable Mail” on page 69.

Step 7: Set up accounts for mail users

Each person who wants mail service must have a user account in a directory domain

accessible by your mail service. The short name of the user account is the mail account

name and is used to form the user’s mail address. In addition, each user account has

settings that determine how your mail service handles mail for the user account. You

can configure a user’s mail settings when you create the user’s account, and you can

change an existing user’s mail settings at any time. For instructions, see “Supporting

Mail Users” on page 37, and “Configuring Email Client Software” on page 37.

Step 8: Create a postmaster alias (optional, but advised)

You need to make an administrative alias named “postmaster.” The mail service or the

mail administrators may send reports to the postmaster account. An alias allows mail

sent to “[email protected]” to be forwarded to an account of your choice.

You should set up forwarding of the postmaster’s mail to a mail account that you check

regularly. Other common postmaster accounts are named “abuse” (used to report

abuses of your mail service) and “spam” (used to report unsolicited commercial email

abuses by your users).

See “Creating Additional Email Addresses for a User” on page 38 to learn about

creating an alias to an existing mail user.
