Domains

To create a new domain you can either:

• Select the Accounts – Create new – Domain menu item
• Right-click in the middle pane when you have the Domains and Account – Management node selected and select Create new – Domain.
• Press CTRL+D

To modify the settings of an existing domain you should select the Domains and Account –> Management node, then select the domain you wish to modify.

Whether you are creating a new domain or modifying an existing one you will be presented with the settings panels for the domain in the right-hand pane.

Be aware that one of your domains must be assigned as the primary domain. The primary domain administrator is also regarded as the server administrator and any system messages (license warnings, System Reports, etc.) will be sent to this account.

You can change the primary domain by selecting a domain and selecting the Accounts -> Make Primary menu item

The primary domain is always listed first in the domain list. Other domains are then listed in alphabetical order, see the example below where the primary domain is icewarpdemo.com.

Functionally, there is no difference between the primary and secondary domains. You can, however, send messages to the primary domain without specifying the domain name.

For example: sending a message to Anyuser, given the above example, would route the message to Anyuser@icewarpdemo.com.

A domain name is NOT the same as a host name. If you have a secondary domain that you want your users to connect to you must have both A and MX DNS records set up.

Clicking the Domain information button (within the very low part of GUI) brings you to the Information tab that summarizes domain settings.
