Email management for domains hosted by Agaric

Using Agaric's MySQL-based Postfix e-mail configuration

These are the instructions sent to Dan Melançon for Mountaineer Grading.

In PHPMyAdmin on the live server:

Go to the emailserver database
Browse or go to the virtual_users table.

Check the number of entries in the table. So long as we don't delete any, the next record you create should use this number plus one as its ID. Specifically, you need to make your new record have an ID of one more than the last inserted ID (note that only 30 entries are shown on a page by default).

This would be automated with a Drupal interface but is NOT yet.

(The only tables you ever want to touch should be virtual_users and - for forwarding - virtual_aiases. View aliases and view users are created automatically and should never be edited.)

Follow the Insert link, in about the middle of the tabs across the top of the main frame.

The domain ID for mtgrading.com is 4. You should always insert that the same.

IMPORTANT: Create new users in the MySQL database with all lowercase letters

example of valid user:
les.putillion

You can of course use capitalization for sending and for the user's self-identification, Les.Putillion@MTGrading.com

I've created a database user for you that should have as limited ability as possible to break anything:

https://66.135.37.243:81/phpmyadmin
user: emailservmtg

Give me a call for the password.

Just don't delete any rows nor edit any that aren't for mtgrading.com (domain ID 4).

Email Mailbox Use

To use Agaric's server for outgoing mail:

server: mail.mtgrading.com
port: 25
username: full.name@mtgrading.com
and the same password as used for receiving.

You can also send e-mail via port 2500 through Agaric's servers (for example mail.mtgrading.com) to get around ISP restrictions on port 25.

MX Records

Stefan Freudenberg: In absence of MX records a sender scans all A records for port 25.

Domains with MX records set to mail.agaricdesign.net:

• adcshoes.com
• potluckpuzzles.com
• democraticmedia.ca
• anjaliforberpratt.com
• saveournet.ca
