The first step in configuring the Internet mail service is to set up the workgroup e-mail address.
An Internet e-mail address is of the following format:
mailbox@workgroupaddress
where mailbox may be, for example, 'john' or 'susan.smith' and workgroupaddress may be, for example, 'mycompany.com' or 'mycompany.myprovider.org', to illustrate just a few examples.
The Address page in the Internet Service property sheet lets you enter one or more workgroup addresses.
Note: A workgroup address is the part of the e-mail address to the right of the '@' character.
If all your users' e-mail addresses have the same workgroup address part, for example:
johnb@company.com
mike.gray@company.com
juliedeane@company.com
then you need add only one workgroup address, 'company.com' in this page. However, if some of your users have e-mail addresses with different workgroup address parts then you will need to add each of these workgroup addresses in this page. You can add a new workgroup address in the following way:
From Supervisor mode, select Mail Services in the left hand list. This will show the available mail services in the right hand list.
Click the right mouse button on the Internet Service entry and select Edit… from the context menu. The Internet Service property sheet will be shown, showing the Address page.
Enter your primary workgroup address, e.g. 'mycompany.com' into the Workgroup Address field.
If you wish to add any other workgroup addresses then click the New… button. The Address dialog box is displayed. Type in an additional workgroup address and press OK.
You can edit and delete workgroup addresses from this page by selecting the appropriate workgroup address from the list and pressing the Edit… or Delete button.
