Changing domain settings for MS

You can edit MS settings for the Messaging Server and configure Web access to the service.

To modify the MS domain settings:

1)	Click the MS tab. Select (or clear) the Domain Mail Settings check box to enable (or disable) this service for the domain.

Note We do not recommend converting a local to domain into a distributed domain without the assistance of Technical Support.

6)	In the Brightmail plug-in options section, set the Brightmail service options as required:

a)	To make a service available, set the Enable option to On.

b)	To turn a service on or off for users, set the Activate option to On or Off. If a user interface (not supplied) has been implemented for users to activate the service themselves, the setting for this service option is the default user setting.

7)	In the Personal Address Book Allow List section, set the options as required:

a)	To make the feature available, set the Enable allow list option to On.

b)	To turn the allow list feature on or off for users, set the Activate allow list option to On or Off. If a user interface (not supplied) has been implemented for users to activate the service themselves, the setting for this feature is the default user setting.

f)	To specify text to add to the header of messages from unknown senders, type the text in the Add header to message field.

8)	(Optional) In the Miscellaneous Defaults section, configure a path prefix. The path prefix is the domain prefix added to the default path value. With AC, the path prefix is automatically added to the user’s path followed by the user’s name when adding a user to the domain.

Note If you add path prefixes through FS, the prefix is not automatically added to the user’s path, but must be added manually.

You can set prefixes automatically by editing the ect/FS.xml file. Uncomment the following line:

<!-- <PathTemplate file="etc/PathTemplate.xml"/> -->

Prefixes will then be automatically added based on the content of the PathTemplate.xml file during when you add a domain.

9)	Click Save Changes.
