Secondary Domain Editor
MDaemon Server Version 8 contains full support for multiple domains. In addition to the Primary Domain Configuration settings, it contains the Secondary Domains Editor used for designating any number of additional domains that you wish to support as well as the IP address to which each will be associated. MDaemon supports both dedicated (static) and multi-homed IP addresses.
On the Secondary Domains Editor, for each secondary domain that you wish to host, you will include: the domain name, the IP address to which it will be associated, and whether or not it will be bound to its IP address.
Secondary Domain List
This window contains the list of your secondary domains. It has several columns: Domain Name-lists the name of each domain, IP-each domain's IP address, Bind-shows whether or not the given domain is bound to its IP address, and several other columns that correspond to the controls below the list. This list can be sorted in ascending or descending order by any column. Simply click the column by which you wish to sort the list and it will be sorted by that column in ascending order. Click the same column again to sort it in descending order.
Domain name
Enter the domain name of the secondary domain that you wish to host.
IP address
Enter the IP address to associate with the domain being added or edited.
Bind sockets to this IP only
Click this checkbox if you want to bind the secondary domain to its IP address.
Add

Replace
When you click an entry in the Domain List, its settings will appear in the corresponding controls. Click this button after making any desired changes to the information to replace the entry with the new settings.
Remove
After selecting an entry in the Domain List, click this button to remove it from the list.
Account and Old Mail Pruning
The remaining three controls on this dialog have corresponding controls on the Accounts Editor that can be used if you want an individual account's settings to override these defaults.
Delete accounts within this domain if inactive for XX days (0=never)
Specify the number of days that you wish to allow an account belonging to this domain to be inactive before it will be deleted. A value of "0" in this control means that accounts will never be deleted due to inactivity.
Delete messages kept by users within this domain if older than XX days (0=never)
A value specified in this control is the number of days that any given message may reside in a user's mailbox before it will be deleted by MDaemon automatically. A value of "0" means that messages will never be deleted due to their age.
Delete deleted IMAP messages in this domain older than XX days (0 = never)
Use this control to specify the number days that you wish to allow IMAP messages that are flagged for deletion to remain in this domain's users' folders. Messages flagged for deletion longer than this number of days will be purged from their mailboxes. A value of "0" means that messages flagged for deletion will never be purged due to their age.
Delete old messages from IMAP folders as well
Click this checkbox if you want the "Delete messages kept by users…" control to apply to messages in IMAP folders as well. When this control is disabled, messages contained in IMAP folders will not be deleted, regardless of their age.
