Setting up the Mail Administrator account

When the mail server first starts up, it creates a registered user named Mail Administrator with the Internet alias "postmaster." Many Internet users and applications describe mail-related problems, such as non-delivery reports, by sending e-mail to "postmaster." You should retrieve mail from this account regularly. To use the account, you need to turn it on and assign it a password.

To set up the Mail Administrator account:

1	Open Mac OS Server Admin and log on to the server you want to administer.
2	Press the Users & Groups button and choose Show Users & Groups List.
3	Double-click the Mail Administrator account.
4	If you like, enter a new name for the Mail Administrator account in the Name box.
	IMPORTANT: Do not change or delete the "postmaster" Internet alias. If you do, the mail server will automatically create a new account with this alias.
5	Make sure the "User may log on" checkbox is selected.
6	If you want, change other settings for the Mail Administrator.

Setting up IMAP Administrator Access

IMAP Administrator Access is a protocol that provides complete control over the contents of the mail server. Using the IMAP Administrator account, the mail administrator can view or edit the contents of any mail message in the database from any computer connected to the network.

To set up IMAP Administrator Access:

1	Open Mac OS Server Admin and log on to the server you want to administer.
2	Press the Mail Services button and choose Advanced Mail Server Settings.
3	Click the Protocols tab.
4	Select the IMAP Administrator Access checkbox.
5	Click Save.
6	On each computer from which you will administer the mail server, configure IMAP client software to connect to the mail server over port 626.
	IMPORTANT: The IMAP client software must support nested folders and allow the port to be changed.
	Registered users that have administrator privileges can log on to the IMAP Administrator Access port.
7	If you wish, create a new user account for the IMAP Administrator.
