They can contain any type of information or they can be left blank.AuthenticationPossible authentication methods:• Internal user databaseUsers are only authenticated within Kerio MailServer. In this case a password mustbe entered in the Password and Confirm Password fields (the user can then changehis/her password in the Kerio WebMail interface).Warning: Passwords may contain printable symbols only (letters, numbers, punctuationmarks). Password is case-sensitive.• Windows NT domainUsers are authenticated in a Windows NT domain. The NT domain name must be enteredin the email domain properties (Windows NT domain in the Advanced tab). Thisauthentication method can be used only if Kerio MailServer is running on Windows2000/XP/2003.

The option can be selected only if the user is mapped from AppleOpen Directory.Password / Confirm PasswordOnly the local user password can be entered or changed. We strongly recommend tochange the password immediately after the account is created.If the password contains special (national) characters, users of some mail clients willnot be able to log in to Kerio MailServer. It is therefore recommend to use only ASCIIcharacters for passwords.Enable a default spam filter ...Upon creating a new user account, check this option to set the antispam rule. All incomingemails marked as spam will be automatically moved to the Junk mail folder. The rulecan be set up only during the process of user account creation. Filtering and rules forincoming email is addressed in Kerio MailServer, User’s Guide.Warning: It is not recommended to create this rule when the user accesses emails viaPOP3. In such case, only the INBOX folder is downloaded to the local client and the useris not able to check if the emails moved to the Spam folder are really spam emails.108
