![]() ![]() There are three email services provided by hMail, you require SMPT and POP3 to send and receive emails. (Add separate accounts or an alias for each of these addresses) An address is required for each domain's SMTP host accepting is "required" by RFC 2142 this is a de-facto standard. I have set-up an alias for and redirected it to Remember to click is required by RFC 2821. In the next step we are going to add an alias hence:Īn alias is effectively a nonexistent account, any email sent to an alias is redirected to a real account. This opens a page displaying the domain details, bottom of this page are three buttons allowing you to add accounts, aliases and distribution list. To add more accounts click on a domain name (only one shown however you can have as many domains as you like supporting your virtual hosts in Apache) in the left window. Note: The above user name (full email address) and password are required when you set-up your email client (such as Outlook Express). Set this account by entering name postmaster in the Account address field and provide a password. This includes the catchall email address. “ postmaster” is a standard hence I am using SaveĮvery user requires an account name (email address) and password. Note: If you need to add additional domains the first port of call is welcome.Įnter your domain name and a catch all email address.Īny mail sent to your domain not having a matching POP account or alias are redirected to this catch all address.

Note: SMTP can be problematic not that its difficult to set-up, invariably problems are associated with your service provider hence be prepared for some experimentation. ![]() The server is pre-configured to prevent SMTP open relay and has correct settings for RFC however it is still worth checking these. Topics covered, how to add a domain and user account, alias creation, how to set the server host name. The configuration steps below show how to set up hMailServer. All they expect is a mail server running under your domain hence there is nothing special in the configuration. I made no changes in IP ranges and left the implicit ones (My computer and the Internet).The sole purpose of running this mail server is to obtain a signed certificate from CAcert. Include sending of e-mails to external providers and receiving e-mails from them (I have tried with Gmail). Use an e-mail client that allows manual configuration of various settings such as ports for each protocol, security.
