Caldera Volution Messaging Server: Getting Started Guide | ||
---|---|---|
Prev |
Most routine Messaging Server administration can be performed using the Server Manager interface. Nonetheless, there are a number of advanced tasks that must be performed from the command line or other interfaces, as documented in the Administrator's Guide.
Note: In addition to the topics in this chapter, we recommend that you consult the Messaging Server Late News listing and FAQ, which are updated regularly on the Caldera website:
Command line administration | ||||
Many of the functions available from the Server Manager can be performed at the command line; for example, adding multiple users with the msgusercreate(8) command. See "Administrative interfaces" in Chapter 2 of the Administrator's Guide. | ||||
Importing user data | You can import user data from other systems; for example, using the msgusermigrate(8) command to convert a UNIX system /etc/password file into an LDAP datastore. See "Importing user data" in Chapter 2 of the Administrator's Guide. | |||
Integration with Volution system management services | ||||
The Messaging Server is compatible with the Volution Manager and Volution Online system management and administration products. They can be used to facilitate remote administration, software distribution and maintenance, and system monitoring. See "Using Volution System Management Services" in Chapter 2 of the Administrator's Guide. | ||||
Messaging Server component administration | ||||
Although the Messaging Server ships with reasonable default settings for its principle LDAP, Postfix, and Cyrus components, each can be customized. See the individual component documentation listed on the DocView Messaging Server home page.
| ||||
Mailbox recovery | You can perform disaster recovery on user mailboxes with Cyrus utilities. See "Mail Directory Recovery" in Chapter 3 of the Administrator's Guide. | |||
Setting mailbox quotas | ||||
You can set storage size limits on Cyrus mailboxes using the cyradm(1) command. See "Setting Cyrus Mailbox Quotas" in Chapter 7 of the Administrator's Guide. | ||||
Enabling anti-virus protection | ||||
The Messaging Server provides simple integration with commercial anti-virus software, and it supports Postfix component configuration for mail filtering. See "Avoiding Viruses" in Chapter 6 of the Administrator's Guide. | ||||
Enabling anti-spam protection | ||||
The Messaging Server provides several options for preventing unsolicited commercial email. See "Avoiding Unsolicited Email" in Chapter 6 of the Administrator's Guide. | ||||
Virtual domains | The Server Manager can be used to create virtual domains (multiple mail domains presented by the same mail server). See "Managing Mail Domains" in Chapter 2 of the Administrator's Guide. | |||
Calendar administration | ||||
The Messaging Server provides default support for the Microsoft Outlook "free/busy" calendar feature, as well as compatibility with commercial calendar server products. See "Chapter 4. Calendar Administration" in the Administrator's Guide. | ||||
SSL security administration | ||||
While the Messaging Server provides SSL (Secure Socket Layer) configuration by default using demonstration keys, many SSL benefits are not available without a signed certificate and key. See "Enabling SSL" in Chapter 6 of the Administrator's Guide. |
