The Coadunation Web Admin Console makes it possible to manage the Email server via a web browser.
The following functionality is provided through the Admin console:
- Add Relay: This can be an IP address, IP address block or a zone.
Note:A relay will have to be added for localhost and 127.0.0.1 before mail can be relayed for the localhost - List Relay: List the relays for this server.
- Remove Relay: Remove the list of relays.
- Add Domain: This creates a local domain.
- Remove Domain: Remove a local domain.
Note will only work if no mailboxes, alias or forwards are attached to this domain - List Domain: List the domains on a server
- Create Mailbox: This creates a mailbox for local delivery, it is attached to a local domain.
- Remove Mailbox: Removes a mailbox.
Note: will only work if there are no aliases on a mailbox - Set Password: Update the password on a mailbox
- Set Quota: This feature has not been implemented yet.
- List Mailboxes: List the mailboxes on a domain.
- Create Alias: Creates an alias for a local mailbox on a local domain.
- Delete Alias: Deletes an alias
- List Alias: List the aliases on a mailbox.
- Create Forward: Creates forward list for an alias on a domain.
- Update Forward: Updates a forward list.
- Remove Forward: Removes a forward.
- List Forwards: List the forwards attached to a domain.
Create relays
The first step to let mail be sent through this server is to setup the relays. A good example of a relay list is the following
- localhost
- 127.0.0.1
- The local ip block this will normally look like the following 192.168.1 or 10.0.0.
Create A Mailbox
The process for creating a mailbox is as follows.
- Create a domain.
- Domain Name: The local domain name
- An option drop box: If no drop box value is supplied all mail that is not deemed local will be bounced.
- Create a mailbox.
- Domain Name: The local domain name to attach mail box to.
- Username: The name of the user at the domain to accept mail for. The full username will be (username@domain name) and that is what is required to correctly authenticate against the POP3 and IMAP4 servers.
- Password: The password to authenticate the user with.
- Quota Size: This should be "0" as this functionality is currently not implemented.
This documentation will be completed shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this
