Mail Server Support

Remote Accounts

Remote Mail Accounts are user accounts on external POP3 servers. You can assign MERAK to check for waiting mails on the remote server.

All Remote Accounts either send a message to the Forward To addresses or save the message in the mailbox path of another user account.

Name

The name of this remote account. It is used purely for display purposes.

POP3

Specifies the POP3 server eg. pop3.demon.com

Username

The username of the remote POP3 account.

Password

The password of the remote POP3 account.

APOP

Check this to ensure that Merak logs in using the secure APOP command. The remote server must support this. (APOP is a secure login using md5 encryption)

Leave messages on server

Merak will leave the messages on the remote server after retrieving them.

Forward to

Specifies the list of addresses separated by semi-colons to which the message(s) should be forwarded.

Mailbox Path

Specifies the mailbox path where to save the retrieved messages. This is a relative directory path for local mailboxes. This should be the same string as for  the user’s mailbox path that will receive the messages.

Domain POP

Specifies that this remote account is to be used to collect mail for the entire domain ie the remote POP3 account contains all the email for this domain. The messages will be resolved by the header "To: ".

Eg if a message has the header "To: Jakub Klos <jakub@icewarp.com>", the <jakub@icewarp.com> part will be ignored and instead Merak will search all accounts for the name Jakub Klos. If found the message will be delivered to this user and the "Forward to" or "Mailbox path" rules are ignored. If no user is found the message is then delivered via the "Forward to" or "Mailbox path" rules.

No Name Resolving

Specifies that when using Domain POP Merak should ignore any actual names in the header and only lookup based on the alias. Eg. for "Jakub Klos <jakub@icewarp.com>" Merak will ignore "Jakub Klos" and try to find the alias jakub instead.

Use X-Envelope-To

Specifies that the Domain POP procedure should use the X-Envelope-To header of the message and should send the message to the specified address.

No Received Processing

Specifies that the Domain POP procedure should not use the "Received: " header and the "for" item.

Schedule

Specifies the Schedule tasks for this remote account that need to be entered. This is the standard Merak scheduler dialog.
