Implementation
-
In the Configuration Domains section, create the primary local domain othercompany.com and set the Internet name of the server mail.othercompany.com (this is more or less fictitious but it contains the domain name). The domain is defined as local, which means that mail sent between local users will not be sent to the Internet and downloaded back again.
-
In the Domain Settings Users section, create user accounts for all local users.
-
The server will connect to the Internet using a dial-up connection (which already exists in the system). In the Configuration Internet Connection section, choose the Offline option, tick the field Use RAS to connect to Internet, choose the requested RAS connection and enter the appropriate username and password.
-
All outgoing mail will be sent via a relay SMTP server. In the Configuration SMTP Properties section, choose the Use relay SMTP server option and enable Relay server requires authentication. Fill in the appropriate username and password. For authentication type select SMTP AUTH command.
-
In the Configuration POP3 Download section, Accounts tab, define downloading of the domain mailbox othercompany at the server pop3.isp.com. Mail from this mailbox will be delivered using sorting rules select Use sorting rules. Selecting preferred header is more or less experimental and the default header Received should be sufficient for most situations.
-
In the Configuration POP3 Download section, Sorting Rules tab, set sorting rules for individual users' email addresses.
-
In the Configuration Definitions/Time Ranges section, create a time interval Working hours, containing the range 8:00:00-17:00:00 valid from Monday through Friday, to be used in scheduling.
-
Set up scheduling for message retrieval from the POP3 box and sending of messages from the mail queue. Add scheduling for every hour (Every 1:00) valid at the time interval Working hours and three schedulings for certain times (At) that will be valid all the time. For all schedulings tick the Receive POP3 mailboxes but also Send mail in mail queue.
