Chapter 7 DomainsIn the Internet hostname field, enter the Internet (DNS) name of the computer where KerioMailServer is installed (typically, this would be the name of the computer with the appendedprimary domain name — this way the server name is automatically generated by the configurationwizard). Server names are used for server identification while establishing SMTP traffic.Upon initializing SMTP communication, the EHLO command is used for retrieving reverse DNSrecord. The server that communicates with Kerio MailServer can perform checks of the reverseDNS record.Note: If Kerio MailServer is running behind NAT, enter the Internet hostname that can beconverted to the IP address of the sending server, i.e. the internet hostname of the firewall.Click Advanced to set location of public folders:• Unique for each domain — each domain contains its own public folders. This configurationdoes not allow any user for accessing a folder of another domain.If there are more domains with user mailboxes created in Kerio MailServer, each of thesedomains must have at least one public folder administrator specified in the User accountssection (see chapter 13).• Global for all domains — users of all domains share the same public folders.Use the Set as primary button to change domain type (the same may be performed using thecontext menu). Any domain ordered as the first one is always primary [Local (primary)]. Otherdomains can be set either as Local (primary) or as Local.Note: Any new domain you add can be set as Local (primary), even when another domainalready has this status. By taking this step, however, the new domain becomes primary andthe former primary domain becomes local only.Create a new domain by clicking on the Add button.Deleting of domainsYou can delete the domain using the Delete button. A domain cannot be deleted if:• user accounts or groups have been already defined within the domain. All accounts mustbe deleted first (for details, see chapter 13.5).• the aliases are defined in it. First, delete all the aliases (for details, see chapter 15.3).• it is the primary domain. However, you can create another domain and define it as primary.Then, the former domain can be deleted.7.2 GeneralBasic domain parameters — the General bookmark:DomainThe name of the new domainNote: No national or special characters are allowed for the name of the new domain (seeAllowed and prohibited characters in the domain name table).64
