Changing outgoing mail settings

 
Allowing or holding outgoing mail
 

    You can allow or hold outgoing mail. If you allow it, mail is sent as specified in the various Mail Server Settings windows. If you hold outgoing mail, all mail sent to the server is stored until outgoing mail service is allowed.

    To allow or hold outgoing mail, follow these steps:
    1 Log on to AppleShare IP Remote Admin.
    2 Make sure the Mail Server is running.
    3

    Click the Mail server button.


       
    4 Click the Server Settings button.
    5 Click Mail Out.
    6 To allow outgoing mail to be sent, select the "Allow outgoing mail" button. Then type a number of hours in the message expiration box.
    When outgoing mail is enabled, users can send mail to any valid e-mail address and the Mail Server will forward the mail to the appropriate user or server when mail service is requested. If the message cannot be delivered, it will be returned to the sender after the number of hours specified in the message expiration box.
    To hold all outgoing mail on the server, select the "Hold outgoing mail" button. Any mail sent is stored on the server.
    7 Click the Save button.

 
Sending non-delivery warnings
 

    When outgoing mail has not been delivered (for example, because the addressee's server is unavailable), you can choose to warn the sender with a "non-delivery" message after a specified amount of time has passed. You can also warn the postmaster.

    Note: Non-delivery warnings are different from non-delivery notifications. Non-delivery notifications are sent after a message has been rejected by a server (for any reason, such as an invalid host in the address). Non-delivery warnings mean there is a problem sending the e-mail message, but the server is still trying to deliver the message.

    To send non-delivery warnings, follow these steps:
    1 Log on to AppleShare IP Remote Admin.
    2 Make sure the Mail Server is running.
    3

    Click the Mail server button.


       
    4 Click Mail Out.
    5 To warn the sender when an outgoing mail message is not being delivered, select the "Warn sender of non-delivery" checkbox. Then type a number of hours to wait before sending the warning.
    6 If you want, click the "Warn Postmaster of non-delivery" button.
    See About the "postmaster."
    7 Click the Save button.
