Configuring mail services

    You use Mac OS Server Admin to configure mail server settings. The first time you set up mail services, you should review each setting available to you. In many cases the default settings work well for your network. Even if you do not need all of the settings, it's best to familiarize yourself with the options available to you.

    To configure mail services:
    1 Open Mac OS Server Admin and log on to the server you want to configure.
    2 Press the Mail Services button. If the mail server isn't running, choose Start Mail Server.
    3 Press the Mail Services button and choose Mail Server Settings.
    4 Click the tabs in the Mail Server Settings window (General, Mail In, Mail Out ) and select the options you want.
    If you don't see the Mail In or Mail Out tabs, make sure mail services have started up.
    5 Click Save and close the Mail Server Settings window.
    6 Press the Mail Services button and choose Advanced Mail Server Settings.
    7 Click the tabs in the window (Network, Protocols, Logs, Anti-Spam, Other) and select the advanced mail server settings you want.
    8 Click Save and close the Advanced Mail Server Settings window.
    9 If you want, you can customize mail settings for specific hosts.

    After you've configured the mail server, you can set up mail service for your users.
