VERY new to xmail, so bear with me please ! :-)
Dedicated mail programs like Thunderbird want you to provide SMTP and POP3 server names ... such as "pop3.globelink.net" and "smtp.globelink.net" as targets for the mail functions.
Looking through and through the docs, I just cannot find what xmail lites default SMTP and POP servers are named by default or where to set them to something else.
Some people here will prefer to use the webmail interface, but others like the "old fashioned" dedicated mail programs.
Any info/pointers VERY helpful.
-Jim
p.s. ... are there any add-ons for xmail that will archive all in/out mail traffic, including the text ? "Compliance"/retention issues here alas. I can fudge something crude, just copy the users changed folders twice a minute or something, but .....

You can use the domain name assigned for XMail Server installation location as POP3/SMTP server name. You can check and/or modify default values in server.tab configuration file:
Code:
#"SmtpServerDomain" "domain.com "
#"POP3Domain" "domain.com" |
|
|
You'll need to uncomment those lines to activate their values (remove preceding # character). Server restart is required of course.

There is no archiving solution available for XMail Server at the moment, but we're developing it now.

Um ... OK ... so, if I were filling out the server part of "Thunderbird" or whatever, I'd just put 'domain.com' (or whatever string of characters I replaced 'domain.com' with) as both the POP and SMTP server entries ?
Ie if I set :
"SmtpServerDomain" "smtp.mydoma in.org "
... then, after registering a DNS for 'mydomain.org', any of my people with a traditional mailreader would set their SMTP server as "smtp.mydomain.org" ... ?

Excellent - so long as you don't price it out of sight :-) Lots of little orgs who have to retain mails, well, budgets just ain't what they used to be ....
Seems like fairly simple archiving ought not be a difficult coding issue, however it may depend on what's DONE with the records ... ie stuffing them into MySQL -vs- a simple CSV file -vs- whatever so they can be sorted and checked later.
Meanwhile I'll just have to fudge some crudish way of archiving until your better solution comes along.

Precisely!

Yes, if you add CNAME smtp.mydomain.org to DNS records list of mydomain.org domain name.
