System setup

The general tab Set TimeZone and local diff according to your location. If you don’t know what to set, a look into the Windows controlpanel, national settings can give you a hint. Always enter four digits to specify the time offset and relative to 24 hours clock. If you don’t need any degree of security, all users (except postmaster) can share password, enter

this password in the Global POP3 password field. All other settings to your own choice.

The Network tab. The 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.

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. Activate both priority mail methods.
Reserved names tab If there are E-mail names that you don’t 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
Logging tab Activate mail logging and UUCP transfer logging. These logs can be active all the time and are valuable if you want to trace a mail. Under Fault localization, activate Script, smtp/pop3 and Com logging, but only until you have setup Mailcoach and successfully got clients as well as Mailcoach running correctly. Don’t forget to disable the

latter logs, they will affect performance, and can quickly grow and waste considerable disk space.
