Allow Remote Start transport:
If this option is checked, any user can initiate a UUCP transport immediately by sending a empty mail to the address: starttransport

Server windows visible:
The two servers, SMTP and POP3 is running as two small separate windows. If this option is unchecked, these windows will be hidden. When visible they show the number of connections that are open.

Mail Viewer:
When you double click or press enter on a item in the in or out-box, the mail is opened with this software.
Allow user registration via E-mail:
When this option is checked, all users can register their own E-mail address by sending a E-mail to Mailcoach. This is further described in the Remote command section

External access control:
If option is checked, external access, i.e. the ability to send mail to outside, can be inhibited for selected users. This option consumes some resources even if no users are configured to use it, so dont activate unless you are certain you will use it.



The Network tab

IP-address:
Specifies the IP-address of your machine. This address is normally found automatically, but if your machine has more than one Network adapter, or if you are using virtual IP-addresses, you may need to select it manually. You cannot set a IP-number that does not exist or is not active in this machine. A special case is if you do not have a network adapter, i.e. you want to run Mailcoach in a single machine. In this case, set IP-address to 127.0.0.1, which is the localhost address which always exists when TCP/IP protocol is installed. Leave other fields unchanged.

Hostname:
This field cannot be changed. The name is automatically resolved from the specified IP-address.

SMTP port:
Select the port for the SMTP service. It should normally not need to be changed.

POP3 port:
Select the port for the POP3 service. It should normally not need to be changed.



The Daemon tab

Undeliver…in reply:
A good choice is 100 top rows of mail. This is enough to get the message but attachments is mostly discharged. No point wasting precious connection time for replying attachments.

Allow X-priority field
If checked users are allowed to send priority mail with the Priority button (if it exists in their software)
Allow (prority) in the subject field
If checked the user may activate the Priority mail method by including the text (priority) in the subject line of the mail. The brackets must be included.

Reserved names tab

If there are E-mail names that you dont really need to setup, but still want to reserve for future use, add these to this list. By doing so, no one can register them remotely or by accident

To add to the list
Enter the name in the New reserved name: fields and press the Add button.

To remove a name from the list
Select the name in the list and press the Remove button.

Note! You cannot remove the first 10 names on the list, these are the remote commands.

Logging tab

There are two groups of logging options. Normal and Fault localization.

Normal:
These options create logs that uses relatively small amount of disk-space and contains the most necessary information.

Fault localization:
Creates logs with extensive information about each issue. The size of these logs may grow very fast, so don
t forget to turn them off after you are finished.

Mail logging

This log contain information about how mail has been sorted. Examin this log if you suspect a mail has vanished. If its not here it has not been processed by Mailcoach.

Uucp transfer logging.

This is especially useful when there are transport-related problems, for example busy lines, UUCP service out of order, Modem malfunction and such. If mail works OK internally but transporting them via UUCP works correctly, here is were you should start looking.

Script logging

Is useful when tracking problems with login.

Smtp / Pop3 logging:

If there are problems with configuring Mail software, problems with fetching mail or priority problems, this log is useful. It shows every step of the connection.

Uucp Command logging.

This log is normally only used when searching for incompatibility problem or ISP related UUCP configuration problems. It contains every command sent and recieved via UUCP.

Uucp Advanced logging.

Also a log that is used only when searching for incompatibility problem or ISP related UUCP configuration problems. It contains every character sent, as command interpretations, flags and hexadecimal code.

Com logging

This log contains every single character/byte sent and received in plain text and hexadecimal format. It is very useful to track strange login problems.

In addition, there are three logs that cannot be disabled, events.log, error.log and the binary error.log

Events logging

Contains information about when services start and when user interactions are

performed against normal use.

Mailcoach.log

This log contains descriptions of errors that has occurred. It also contains information about what to do about the error and location codes which can

be used by us when searching for possible bugs.

Error.log

This is a binary log which is used by Ymex for advanced fault localization.
