Instant Messaging Trusted Hosts


This file specifies the domains of the trusted servers to enable the server to server communication. Each server that needs to share the presence, messages and other instant messaging features needs to be enabled in this file. You can easily create a group of trusted servers accross different domains and users can chat, send messages to any other instant messaging server that is in the trusted hosts file.

Formal Syntax:

trustedhosts = *(trustedhost CRLF)  
trustedhost = domainlist "=" hostname [":" port] [";SSL"]  
domainlist = 1*(domain ";")  
hostname = ipaddress / host  
 

Example:

icewarp.cz=im.icewarp.cz;SSL
merakmailserver.com=mail.merakmailserver.com
Remember that each IM server has to have the remaining trusted domains specified in the file as well otherwise the route back (server response) would not work. In the example above the domain icewarp.cz is on the im.icewarp.cz server and the communication would be done using the SSL. The im.icewarp.cz server has to have our domain and host in its trusted hosts.
