After the Server is installed, the General Settings should be specified. Use any browser to connect to the CommuniGate Pro server and enter the Settings area.
Set the General Settings and click the Update button. The page should appear again with the Updated marker.
In the Main Domain Name field you should enter the name that the CommuniGate Pro Server will interpret as its own domain name. All mail that is addresses to that domain will be treated as local, and (in the simplest case) that mail will be stored in local mailboxes.
Note: messages directed to this and only this domain names will be processed as Local. If the Main Domain Name entered is company.com, then a message to abc.company.com will not be processed as local, and if such a message is received, the server will try to deliver it to the abc.company.com computer over the network. Even if the DNS records for the abc.company.com point to the same Server computer, mail to that domain is not processed as local.
If your server should process mail for several domains, enter the records for those additional domains into the Router.
Use the Log setting to specify what kind of information the server kernel module should put in the Server Log. Usually you should use the Major (message transfer reports) or Problems (message transfer and non-fatal errors) levels. But when you experience problems with the server kernel, you may want to set the Log Level setting to Low-Level or All Info: in this case low-level details will be recorded in the System Log as well. When the problem is solved, set the Log Level setting to its regular value, otherwise your System Log files will grow in size very quickly.
It's unlikely you will ever meet the problem with the kernel itself. If you see a problem with the Server, try to troubleshoot which component could be the cause of it, and change the Log setting of that component (Router, SMTP, POP, etc.) to get more information.
The kernel records in the System Log are marked with the SYSTEM tag.
Information fields on the General Settings page display the name of the Server Operating System, the version of the CommuniGate Pro Server.
The Local Time and Time Zone of the Server are displayed as well. This information is useful for system administrators that have to examine Logs from remote localtions, as all time stamps in the System Logs are specified in the Server local time.
