Server configuration

General

Enable Default Post Office
Specify the default post office for your server. This means that any username that only has the mailbox name will be assumed to be from the default post office. E.g. the sales@example.com user will only need to use sales to log on with.

Enable post office bindings (Enterprise Edition only)
It is possible to bind each MailEnable post office to a particular IP address on the network card. This means that all post offices will only need to use the username to log-in (not just the default post office). This will also allow the welcome message when a connection is made to the server return a value that is specific for each post office.

Policies

Lock out user for one hour after
Keeps track of mailbox authentication failures per hour; all services have the authentication logged as one. When the number of failed attempts is reached, the account will be locked out for 1 hour.

Prevent simple passwords
When an administrator creates an account or a user changes a password, the password must meet the password complexity requirements, as outlined below, if this feature is enabled.
- Passwords must be over 6 characters long
- Passwords cannot match mailbox or account name, or have the mailbox or account name contained in the password string.
- Password cannot be 'password' or cannot have the word 'password' contained in the password string.

SSL (Enterprise Edition only)

Once an SSL Certificate has been configured in the server’s Personal Certificates store, select and enable that certificate for use under MailEnable. The SSL certificate that is chosen for use by MailEnable is used for all SSL communications. For more information on SSL, refer to the product guide.
