Adding Users

After installing Secure Mail Suite, you must create local user accounts. You need to create user accounts only if this machine is a mail store. You must create a user for each mail account to be hosted here.

This section describes how to set up users for Secure Mail Suite. To add a user, go to the System Management section from the main index page. User creation and management is done in the subsection Local User Management.

To create a user, click Create New User.

The following options are provided for creating a user.

Username

The username that we want to create

Real Name

Full name of the person using this username.

Password

The password of this user.

Verify Password

Enter the password here also. This field is to verify that there are no spelling mistakes in the password.

Access

Check E-Mail Only if this user account is for receiving email only. If checked, the user will not have shell access to the system.

Group Membership

Each user should belong to a group. You can either create a new group for this user, or add this user to an existing group.
To create a new group, select New Group and enter the name of the group in the box. The group will be automatically created and the user will be added to that group.
To add the user to an existing group, select Existing Group and enter the name of the group on the box below. The user will be added to that group.

When all the necessary fields are completed, click Create to add the user. Once created, the user will be listed in the Local User Management section.

In the example configuration mailbox.corp.guardiandigital.com is the mail store. So we need to create local users in mailbox.corp.guardiandigital.com. Since
smtp.corp.guardiandigital.com is a mail relay, there is no need to create local users on that machine.
