Mail Server Configuration

Here you have the option to set up various system-wide options.

Send outgoing mail via host

The Deliver directly option will forward any outgoing mail not destined for users of your system directly to the given host.

If the mail server is behind a firewall or proxy server to the outside world, you will need to tell the mail server where to forward non-local mail. You can enter in a hostname or IP address here.

Allow Incoming Mail

By default (Enabled), the mail server can both send and receive mail. If this is set to Disabled, the machine will not be able to receive mail (but will still be able to send mail).

Enable Procmail

procmail is a mail preprocessor. When a message comes into the machine, it is passed to procmail which then looks for a file called ".procmailrc" in the recipients home directory. This file can contain "filters" to file the message into mailboxes.

Procmail is enabled by default. If you would like it disabled, you can do so here.
