A postoffice is used to host multiple mailboxes and domains under one area. For example, if you were providing email hosting for multiple companies, you would create a postoffice for each company. Within the postoffice you can assign multiple domains and mailboxes. If you are running a small mail server, you might only have one postoffice.
To add a new post office:
- Select the Messaging Manager branch in the left tree view window of the MailEnable Administration program.
-In right window, an icon labeled Create Post office will be shown. Click this icon to create a post office and enter a post office name.
- A password for the postmaster mailbox that will be created for the post office will need to be specified. A new post office will be created.
Note: It is also possible to right click the post offices branch and select New > Post office to create a new post office. Functions that are represented by an icon are mostly available through right-clicking items in the left hand panel.
Post office configuration can be accessed using the Administration Console by selecting Messaging Manager > Post Offices > Post Office Name Properties. Click here for more information on post office properties.
