Topic: Setting up new server

[Thomas]

I am trying to setup a new virtual domain on my SME 6.01-01 server.  In the "Hostnames and Addresses" section of server manger page there are several hostnames listed there.  I have several questions:

1. Should the mail.mydomain.com hostnames be set to global?

2. Is mail.mydomain.com the pop or smtp part of my email server?

3. I created an ibay to use to store the webpages for this domain.  What should the "Public access via web or anonymous ftp" setting be for this ibay?

4. Regarding the ibay in (3) above what would you guys recommend I set the "User access via file sharing or user ftp " setting to?  Now I have the group set to Everyone and the User access... set to Write = group, Read = group.

Thanks,
Thomas

2. Is mail.mydomain.com the pop or smtp part of my email server?

Neither. The system will collect mail wherever you set your MX record to. For example, most of my domains I set my MX record to the root of the domain, like domain.com. However, if you wish to use mail.domain.com thats fine, but no mail will go there until you set your MX record!

3. I created an ibay to use to store the webpages for this domain.  What should the "Public access via web or anonymous ftp" setting be for this ibay?

I would disable FTP unless you really needed it. Outside of that, you should select to have your domain be open to the internet without passwords if you want it to be totally open. Otherwise, select Internet with passwords if you want protection.

Good Luck,
