VMware image?

[Mark Gregory]

Hi Lance,

Thank you for your help.

I'm now going to tell my exchange server to use the ESVA box as a smart host and to see what happens for outgoing email.

Regards
Mark

Well done !!!

As long as you followed the instructions on how to configure the the vm 
you should be ok. They have great forums on the domination site that 
will help if you get stuck.

I would test it with a test domain first just to make sure everything is ok.

You can do that and it helps the system to learn your HAM which will 
make it more effective.

Yes one user can manage all the domains on the system. The main admin 
user will be able to do this from the start.

You should just be able to use one user if you are the only admin.

If there are more than one and you want to give them their own logins 
then you have to create the accounts.


The system should behave like any other MailScanner install it has just 
been made easier by creating a a virtual machine.

Hope this helps

Lance
