Click the

tab (version 7) or Management under Domains & Accounts (version 8)

Alias:
This is the users name at the domain. Example: to setup the email address

enter an alias of support.
Note:
Multiple aliases can be used by separating them with a semi-colon (;) support;help;info
Mailbox
- This is the name of the mailbox and mail account. Usually automatically created by VisNetic MailServer. This is what is used for authentication and mail collection. It defaults to the same as the alias but does not have to be. The mailbox name is also used as the login for web admin or remote configuration.
Password
The password for the mailbox. Repeat in the confirmation field.
Name
The real name, or an identifier. This is used in autoresponders and for displaying the accounts.
Click
Save
It is very likely that there will be duplicate mailboxes across different domains (e.g.;
sales@domaina.com
,
sales@domainb.com
). Delivery of mail is easy since the domain is specified. However, upon mail collection by users, in order for VisNetic MailServer to know which mailbox is being requested, it compares mailbox and password combinations.
If you are using VisNetic Web Admin:
Click the
Accounts
link (version 7) or Management under Domains & Accounts (version 8)
Click the
domain
the account will be associated with
Click
New User
under the
Users
section
Enter the account name in the Alias field. For example, if the email address is going to be
support@deerfield.com
enter the alias as support. Multiple aliases can be used by separating them with a semi-colon (;) support;help;info
