Setting Hmail server

After you install hMailServer and reboot the system on which it was installed, you should see the system listening on the SMTP port.

Unless you opted not to have a Start Menu item created, you should find an hMailServer group in the Start Menu. Run hMailServer Administrator from within it. When it starts, you should be able to connect to localhost, i.e. the instance of hMailServer running on the system, by clicking on it to highlight it and then clicking on Connect.

You will be prompted to enter the password you provided when you installed the software. After you enter the password, you will see the Welcome window where you can add a domain that will receive email.

Click on the Add domain button, then type the domain name, e.g. example.com, in the Domain field. The Enabled checkbox should be checked.For this sample,I use my-webportal.co.cc

Click on the Save button. You will then see the domain name appear in the left-hand pane of the window with Accounts, Aliases and Distribution lists beneath it.

Click on Accounts and then the Add button. In the Address field, type an email address you want to use for the domain, e.g. yungfei, if you wanted to use yungfei@my-webportal.co.cc. Put the password to be used for the account in the Password field. You should use a strong password that is not easily guessed. If you want to specify a maximum size for that user's mailbox, you can set it here. For ordinary user accounts, the administration level should be left at User.

If you've created several accounts and you would like some email messages to go to multiple people, e.g., you would like email addressed to user@my-webportal.co.cc. To go to both yungfei@my-webportal.co.cc. and user@my-webportal.co.cc, click on Distribution lists. In the Address field, put sales You can specify one of three modes for the distribution list.

• Public - Anyone can send to the list
• Membership - Only members can send to the list
• Announcements - Only allow messages from the following adress

Click save the address, then that mail account have been created and can be used as mail server.

To use mail server in localhost, we have been set up the mail server installer and then we also need a mail client server..At this case I use web mail as client. For web mail installer and tutorial you can see on my next article about web mail.
