IMPORTANT: The PostMaster must belong to a Global Domain. Hosting Domain users cannot be designated as the messaging server PostMaster. For more information on Global and Hosting Domains, see the Novell® NetMail® Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
Official Domain
The Internet domain serviced by the current messaging server (such as abc.com or 123.net). All system messages, such as those sent to the Postmaster, use this domain. Additionally, if the messaging server is running the NMAP Agent, the Official Domain is the default domain for users within the NMAP Agents context.
IMPORTANT: The Official Domain must be a Global Domain; it cannot be a Hosting Domain. For more information on Global and Hosting Domains, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
The Official Domain Name must be registered in DNS before the messaging system can send and receive mail via the Internet.
NetMail can share an Internet domain with other messaging systems. NetMail can run alongside any application that supports Internet standards, including groupware applications such as Novell GroupWise®, Lotus* Notes*, and Microsoft* Exchange. For information about domain sharing, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
When finished, click Save.
After the Messaging Server object is created, you can configure it.
