Option |
Description |
Virtual host |
This option is shown only if you have already set Virtual Host (see How to create VH). You can set different settings for each virtual host and customize it according to the domain for instance. |
Outgoing mail server |
The hostname or IP address of the SMTP server that WebMail will use to send messages. If you run Power Pack version (not WebMail stand alone version) use "localhost", unless you binded Merak to some IP address. |
Incoming mail server |
The hostname or IP address of mail server for account management. If you run Power Pack version (not WebMail stand alone version) use "localhost", unless you binded Merak to some IP address. |
Domain |
This option is kept for back compatibility with the old Web Mail versions only. Do not fill it for new installations. The multi- domain setup in the recent version is provided by more effective way. If filled, Web Mail will be integrated with specified domains. Separate domains with a semicolon. If multiple domains are specified, the user is asked to pick one from a list box at login only when not using Complete Merak Mail Server Integration option. |
Users path location |
Default Users Path location is \Merak\WebMail\Users\. There are stored all the configuration data and messages except messages which are in Inbox folder. Such messages are stored in Merak\Mail\ by default. By filling this option you can change the location where WebMail stores such data. Example: For the demo domain merakdemo.com will be created folder: \Merak\WebMail\Users\MerakDemo.com\ You can also use Store Mail Folders in Merak Mail Folder option to automatically store all mail folders (including messages) to the same folder as the Inbox is stored so only configuration files for WebMail accounts are stored in specified location. |
Content-type charset |
A default character set can be specified here which will be entered into the MIME headings. Character sets for countries with special national characters should be entered here. Example: ISO-8859-2 |
Content-transfer-encoding |
A default encoding can be set. Value is either 7bit or 8bit. If you set it to 7bit and you don't use any charset the special characters can be lost (unreadable) in the message. The 8bit encoding will maintain even the special characters. |
Allow sign-up process |
This allows a visitor to Web Mail to create their own account. If using integration, this will only work if Merak is the mail server The default values for new users are given by the content of the file /Merak/Config/Default.ini. This file can be edited manually or via the Merak Configuration Program, Menu - Accounts - Options - Accounts Defaults. The values from the Default.ini file are used only if the Use Account Defaults option is checked. |
Account creation notification |
It has sense to enable this option only if the sign-up process is enabled. In such case, a notification containing Username and date of creation is sent to address which is specified in next field. |
Send create notification to |
To which address the creation notification should be sent. |
