Server Admin 10.5 Help
Mail Service Overview
Mac OS X Server provides a full complement of tools for providing, setting up, and managing email service for your users. Postfix and Cyrus mail servers are at the heart of Mac OS X Server and provide the software engine for your users’ email collaboration. Server Admin controls the separate mail service packages and combines them in a central administrative location. Use the online help for detailed instructions for setting up and maintaining mail service, and using mailing lists to provide flexible collaboration for your users.
Setting Up Mail Service
Mail service requires the coordination of several different factors for successful operation. Incoming and outgoing mail services need to be configured, along with DNS services, in order for your users to send and receive email.
Mail Service Maintenance
Once in use, mail service must be maintained and fine-tuned. Ongoing maintenance to both the service and the mail messages allows smooth, seamless, useful mail exchange.
Managing Mail Lists
Mailing lists allow users inside and outside your mail system to collaborate easily and effectively. Use mailing lists to centralize and archive email communication based on any criteria imaginable.
