Before a user can send and receive Internet mail, the mail service must first be activated for the user. This can be done from the Users page.
There is a check box to the left of each user. Select the check box to the left of the user that you wish to configure and press the Settings… button. The User Settings property sheet will be displayed.
Address Page
The settings in the Address page determine the user's e-mail address. An e-mail address is of the following form:
mailbox@workgroupaddress.com
The Internet service Address page lets you specify one or more addresses for the workgroup. The Address page in the User property sheet lets you select one of these addresses along with a mailbox name in order to fully specify the user's e-mail address.
For example, your workgroup may be configured with the following addresses:
company.com
company.org
mycompany.provider.com
If you specified 'john' as the mailbox for the user, then mail coming to the following addresses would be delivered to the user:
john@company.com
john@company.org
john@mycompany.provider.com
Selecting a workgroup address in the Address page determines the e-mail address used when recipients of your mail reply to your message. Although the user will receive mail addressed to any of the three addresses above, he may wish to be addressed as 'john@company.com' in which case 'company.com' should be selected from the Workgroup Address drop down list.
POP3 Page
The POP3 page lets you specify details of a POP3 account that is specific to this user. If your workgroup receives all its mail via SMTP or via a multiple POP3 mailbox then the fields in this page should be left blank. However, if mail for this user is received via a single user POP3 account, you should specify the login name and password for the POP3 account.
Forwarding Page
The Forwarding page of the User Settings property sheet lets you configure mail redirection for this user. The redirection is handled by the gateway machine as soon as the message is received from the Internet.
You may choose between the following:
No forwarding
Forwarding to a local user
Forwarding to an e-mail address
To forward to a local user, select the Forward To User radio button and select the relevant user from the drop down list. To forward to an e-mail address, select the Forward To Address radio button and enter the relevant e-mail address.
Checking the Keep a Copy check box ensures that the user gets a copy of the message before it is forwarded.
