1. Preparations
If you do not have the winmail Server installation package, you can go to the http://www.magicwinmail.com/to download the latest Installer
Before installing the system, you must select an operating system platform. The winmail server can be installed on Windows 98/Me, Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, and other Win32 operating systems.
2. System Installation
The installation process is similar to the general software. The following describes only the steps that need attention, such as installing components, installing directories, running methods, and setting the administrator login password.
1) Start Installation
Double-click the winmail Server Installation Package and select "yes" to continue installation
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
2) Select the installation language.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
3) Click "Next" to continue the installation.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
4) read the winmail server license, agree, select "I accept this agreement", and click "Next" to continue the installation
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
5) Select the installation directory
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
Note: It is recommended that you do not use a Chinese directory because the correct path cannot be found during control registration, and the system may not run properly.
6) select to install the component
The main components of winmail server include the server core and management tools.
The core of the server is to complete services such as SMTP, POP3, admin, and HTTP.
Management tools are mainly used to set the mail system, such as system parameters, user management, and domain management.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
7) Select an additional task
There are two core server running methods: running as a system service and running a program separately.
Running as a system service is only valid when your operating system platform is Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003;
It is applicable to all Win32 operating systems.
During the installation process, if the configuration file already exists, the installer will allow you to choose whether to overwrite the existing configuration file. Note that you must select "retain original settings" during the upgrade ".
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
8) set the password.
In the previous step, if you choose to overwrite the existing configuration file or install it for the first time, the installer will also allow you to enter the system administrator password and System Administrator email password, set a secure password for security, which can be modified later.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
10) Click "Install" to start installing the program to your computer.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
11) Click "OK" to complete the installation.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
12) Installation successful
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
After the system is successfully installed, the installer allows you to choose whether to run the winmail server program immediately.
If the program runs successfully, the system tray area will display the icon 500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">;
If the program fails to be started, the user will see the icon 500 in the system tray area) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">.
In this case, you can go to "Administrative Tools"/"Event Viewer" in Windows to view the system "application logs" and learn the cause of winmail server program startup failure.
Note:: If you are prompted to restart the system, be sure to restart
Vi. settings of winmail Mail System
1. Quick wizard settings
After the installation is complete, the Administrator must perform initialization settings for the system to run properly. When the server is started, if it finds that no domain name has been set, the quick setting wizard is automatically run. You can use it to set up the mail server easily and quickly.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
Enter a new email address and password, and click "set". The setting wizard automatically finds whether the database has the email address and domain name to be created, if no new domain name or mailbox is found, the wizard adds a new domain name or mailbox to the database, and tests whether the SMTP, POP3, admin, and HTTP servers are successfully started. After the setting is complete, the setting information and server test information are reported in the "setting result" column. The setting result displays the setting information about the mail client software at the bottom.
2. service status check
After logging on to the management tool, use "system settings"/"system services" to check whether SMTP, POP3, admin, HTTP, IMAP, LDAP, and other services are running properly. The green icon indicates that the service is successfully running, and the red icon indicates that the service is stopped.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
If you find that services such as SMTP, POP3, admin, HTTP, IMAP, or LDAP have not been started successfully, use "system log"/"system" to view the system startup information.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
If the startup fails, it is generally because the port is occupied and cannot be started. Close the occupied program or change the port and restart the related services. For example, when Windows 2000 is installed by default, the SMTP service of IIS will be installed, resulting in the failure of the SMTP service in the mail system. If you cannot find the occupied program, you can use a tool named active ports software to view that program occupies the port, you can download to the http://www.magicwinmail.com/download_other.htm#viewport.
3. SMTP basic parameter settings
Open the winmail management tool and set relevant parameters under "system settings"> "SMTP Settings"> "Basic Parameters". These parameters are related to the normal sending and receiving of emails, therefore, set the parameters reasonably and in a standardized manner based on the actual situation.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} "originwidth =" 674 "originheight =" 456 ">
(1) Recycling mailbox of the error mail: the default is postmaster@yourdomain.com, when the system has an error message does not know to deliver there, it will be delivered to the mailbox. Therefore, you must set a valid email address.
2) HELO/EHLO host name: the HELO/EHLO host name must be set properly. Otherwise, some email service providers refuse to accept your emails, such as Sina.com and 163.com.
3) Maximum number of recipients for each mail: Maximum number of recipients allowed for each mail.
4) Maximum number of bytes per mail: Maximum number of bytes per mail. Indicates the header (sender, recipient, subject, sending time, etc.), encoded email content, and the total bytes of all attachments After encoding.
5) Maximum number of incoming mail hops: the maximum number of SMTP servers allowed by the SMTP service.
6) Retry Interval of failed Emails: the time after which a failed email can be resold. This time cannot be set too short. We recommend that you set it to 30 minutes. 7) maximum time for an email to stay in the queue: the maximum time for each email to be retained in the queue. emails beyond this time will not be sent. This time cannot be too short. We recommend that you set it to 3-5 hours.
8) Enable mail authentication: Only authenticated users can use the SMTP service to forward emails. It can effectively prevent untrusted hosts from sending spam by borrowing servers. We strongly recommend that you enable mail authentication.
9) The sender and authenticated user must be the same: the sender and authenticated user must be the same email account. This effectively prevents users who do not have the permission to send emails from using an account with the permission to send emails.
10) The sender and authenticated user must be the same: the sender and authenticated user must be the same email account. This effectively prevents users who do not have the permission to send emails from using an account with the permission to send emails.
11) authentication is required when sending emails from the domain name in the system: authentication is required when sending emails from the email address containing the domain name in the system. This prevents spammers from sending spams by forging the sender.
12) convert MS-TNEF mail to MIME format mail: MS-TNEF is a special format mail for Microsoft Outlook (only one is named winmail. dat attachments). Most non-Outlook mail client software cannot parse normally. When this feature is enabled, messages for the MS-TNEF can be automatically converted to messages in generic MIME format.
13) Allow SSL/TLS communication: secure connections (SSL/TLS) are supported when receiving external messages ). Generally, the remote server selects the connection mode.
14) Enable the VRFY/expn command: to prevent spammers from obtaining the user list through the VRFY/EXPN Command, these two commands are usually disabled. However, a few external domains (such as verizon.net) require the command for verification. You can set it according to your actual needs.
VII. Sending and receiving emails
1. Use webmail for sending and receiving
1) log on to Webmail
Correct installation. After setting the winmail system, you can use webmail that comes with winmail server to send and receive mails. The default port is 6080, And the login address is http: // yourserverip: 6080, here the login address is http://mail.magicwinmail.com: 6080/

500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
10) send and receive the test email to the local and external users, and then receive the test email.
8. Install and set anti-virus software
Winmail server supports almost all anti-virus engines, and supports three modes: virus firewall, embedded API, and command line program. It can scan incoming and outgoing emails to effectively clear virus emails.
For the integration steps of winmail server and common anti-virus software, see http://www.magicwinmail.com/antiviruslist.htm. in this case, we choose to use the Norton Firewall (Symantec Antivirus Enterprise Edition 8.0) with winmail server to scan and kill virus emails.
1. Anti-Virus Software settings
1) enable the Norton Antivirus Software
Choose "configuration"> "Automatic File System Protection"> "exclude files and folders"
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
2) Select "file/folder" to exclude
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
3) Select the five directories to exclude scan directories. Take the default installation directory of winmail server as an example. The six directories are
% \ Server \ queue \ bounce
% \ Server \ queue \ Header
% \ Server \ queue \ msg
% \ Server \ queue \ status
% \ Server \ queue \ todo
% \ Server \ store
% Indicates the directory where the email system is installed. We are installing it in c: \ programe files \ magic winmail
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
4) Set "delete infected files" for virus detection. If the operation fails, select "do not operate (only record)" or "clear viruses in files"
At the same time, in order to save system resources and avoid prompting for confirmation every time a virus is detected, we should disable the Norton warning prompt.
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
2. Email system settings
1) winmail server anti-virus settings: "enable scan for virus mail", select "Use File Real-time protection or virus firewall"
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
2) Send a test letter to view the feedback
500) {This. resized = true; this. style. width = 500;} ">
The test is successful. Integration is complete!
3. send and receive mail Test
According to the above settings, we also use Outlook Express and Webmail to send and receive emails for another test. It mainly tests whether there are no attachments, virus attachments, and virus attachments, and whether the sending and receiving emails are normal and whether virus emails can be correctly reported.
Note: When testing a virus email, you can download the harmless standard virus sample eicar for testing at www.eicar.org.
