help.h10.gif (20189 bytes)

 

Enable Auto Reply

Select this field to enable the auto reply feature for this mailbox. Auto Reply causes MailSite to

automatically generate a reply message to the sender when an incoming e-mail arrives for this

mailbox.

Reply Just Once

Select this field to ensure that no sender receives more than one auto reply. When this is checked,

MailSite will append the e-mail address to which it replies to a file called REPLIED.TXT that

located in the mailbox directory. It will delete this file if the auto reply feature is switched off.

Echo Message

Select this field to return the original message with all auto-reply messages.

Reply From

Enter an e-mail address that MailSite will use as the From: address when creating auto-reply

messages.

No Reply To

Enter list of e-mail addresses (one per line) to which auto reply messages will not be sent. Hold the

Ctrl key and press Return to enter multiple lines. If a message is received which is addressed or

copied to one of these addresses, then no automatic reply will be sent. You would typically include

addresses of mail lists in here, since automatic replies to mail list messages are antisocial. Note that

MailSite will never send an auto reply to an address like owner-listname or like lisname-request,

for the same reason.

Reply Message

Enter the text of the auto reply message. Hold the Ctrl key and press Return to enter multiple

lines. You may include auto reply directives to include files and special fields in your reply message.

The automatic reply message for a mailbox may contain directives that are replaced by other text

Privilege Level

The options available in the privilege level box will depend on your privilege:

Þ If you have Server privilege, then you may change any mailbox's privilege level, even that of a mailbox with Server privilege.

Þ If you have Domain privilege, then you may change a mailbox's privilege level to Domain or None.

Þ If you have privilege level of None then you may not change your privilege level.  

Mailbox Quota and Warning Level

You can only change these settings if you have Server privilege. If you are not permitted to change these values, they will still be displayed, but cannot be changed.

login_5.gif (14232 bytes)

The Confirm Page describes the action that has been requested and has two links to OK or Cancel the action. Click on OK to complete the action.

Report Page

The Report Page displays the result of an operation. It looks like this:

login_6.gif (15534 bytes)

After you have performed an update operation a Report Page will describe the success or failure of each of the changes requested. The page contains at most four links to the server, domain and mailbox pages and a log off link. Your privilege level and the current state of the Web Console session determine which links are available.

Error Page

The Error Page looks like this:

login_7.gif (16063 bytes)

Should an error occur during a Web Console session then an error page will be displayed outlining the nature of the error and a link back to a suitable point.

Logoff Page

The Logoff page looks like this:

login_8.gif (13660 bytes)

When you select the logoff link this page is displayed. It cleans up the memory on the server side of the Web Console application and also provides a link back to the logon page. Note that if there is no activity on a mailbox managing session for one hour then the session is terminated by the server.  However, for security reasons, it is a good idea always to log off.

Catchall Mailbox

The mailbox name catchall is special. If the catchall mailbox exists in the domain abc.com, then incoming mail addressed to a non-existent mailbox such as unknown@abc.com will instead be delivered to the catchall@abc.com mailbox.  If the catchall mailbox does not exist, the message will be returned to the sender of the mail.

Netscape User Configuration

Use the % instead of @ in the username field.  Example: abcdemo%abc.com

Eudora User Configuration

Some Eudora Users may require the use the % instead of @ in the username field as well as the server name.  Example: abcdemo%abc.com@mail.abc.com .
