Configuration
-------------

***Note***: For proper functionality it is necessary to create a domain 
and a user in the domain. Run 'wizard' and create them.


Important files:

wizard              - script to run the wizard
startd              - script to start the mail server services
stopd               - script to stop the mail server services
tool                - special tool for command line administration
/etc/init.d/merakd  - script to start/stop/restart the server


Wizard:

Run 'wizard' in the shell. The wizard lets you create new domains
and users and several other functions. Follow the screen instructions.


Remote Console:

If you are used to administer with the GUI, you can access your Linux server 
from Windows using the IceWarp Merak Mail Server Administration console.
You can also access the server using wine and the included config.exe in the ./wine directory.

Use 'wine wine/config.exe /forceconnect'.


Web Admin:

Easy to use administration via a web browser. Run your Internet browser 
and navigate to http://yourserver:32000/admin/
It offers almost the same functionality as the remote console


Tool:

Command line tool allowing you to perform most of the configuration 
functions. You need to have a little knowledge of the mail server API 
and its constants 'apiconst.pas'. The complete list of API constants can 
be found 'api/delphi/apiconst.pas'. Run 'tool' to see the commands 
and parameters.
