+ | ======Settings -> Local Mail -> General====== | ||
+ | The **Local Mail -> General** page allows you to configure a few simple, but fundamentally important settings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Default Domain===== | ||
+ | In the majority// | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Local Domains===== | ||
+ | The **Local Domains** box contains a list of domains, for which mail should be handled locally. This allows VPOP3 to process local mail properly, and prevents it going through an external server, before being redownloaded as incoming mail. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can specify multiple local domain names, which must be separated by a semi-colon (**'';'' | ||
+ | e.g. '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Local Domains** box will also support individual email addresses, if you do not want every address from a particular domain to be handled locally, but this practice is discouraged, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The following wildcards may be used in the **Local Domains** box: | ||
+ | * **< | ||
+ | * **?** - //matches a single character// | ||
+ | |||
+ | //**† There are some undocumented circumstances where the first domain from the Local Domains box will be used instead of the Default Domain; so for consistency, | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Other options===== | ||
+ | * **Treat locally sent mail for unrecognised local recipients as outgoing mail** - //If VPOP3 is unable to recognise the recipient, it will handle the message as it would for any other outgoing mail. This can be useful, where a domain name is not exclusive to the server running VPOP3.// | ||
+ | * **Disable default user -> user mappings for local/ | ||
+ | * **Create LAN Forwarding rules to forward to this server** - //This links to a page, which allows you to set up a basic LAN Forwarding configuration, | ||
