Overview - Web Service

The default Web Admin Interface allows access to the various properties pages within FTGate to configure and administer the system, from any machine on the LAN (local area network) or the Internet.

 

You are strongly advised to change the Admin logon name and password as soon as you have installed the system. This can be done on the Config | Password properties page.

 

Every aspect of FTGate can be administered through the Web Admin Interface, including creating mailboxes, SmartPop accounts including configuring your domain and everything else you would want to do with this versatile mail server.

 

FTGate can do just about anything you want to do with a mail server and more, much more...

 

The following sections are available to configure the Web Admin interface:
