If details entered get authenticated then Admin will be shown options for ADS-Authentication,ADS-
Autocreation and
Syncronisation of Address Book Information.
Enabling Ads Authentication will configure MailServ for ADS Server Authentication(i.e authentication of users
will happen through ADS Server).
If ADS Server Authentication authentication is enabled and also ADS autocreation is enabled
then all users in ADS not integrated with Exchange/Lotus Server will be added in MAILSERV as mailbox
users.
If ADS Server Authentication authentication and ADS autocreation as well as Syncronisation(of Address Book
Info)
is enabled then all users in ADS Server integrated with Exchange/Lotus Server will be added in MAILSERV as
contact
users and those users of ADS Server not integrated with Exchange/Lotus Server will be added in MAILSERV
as mailbox
users.
(If ADS Server Authentication is enabled and ADS autocreation is disabled) or (If ADS Server Authentication is
disabled)
and ADS Syncronisation (of Address Book Info) is enabled then all users in ADS Server irrespective of
whether they are integrated or not with Exchange/Lotus Servers will be added in mailserv as Contact users.
Reverse DNS turns an IP address into a hostname (Domain Name) unlike Standard DNS where are turning a
hostname into an IP address takes place.

This page allows the administrator to change the Public IP address or the Resolvable Hostname for
FreebusyURL .
Admin can also specify the type or name of the protocol which is used to connect to the Server.
SMTP Rewrite Maps are normally used for when MailServ is relaying mails to Another Mailserv and if Email
addresses need to be rewritten before sending it.
For eg. if the local domain of the mail server is location.domain.com, in the smtp headers
user@location.domain.com will be added. If you want the location part to be removed from the smtp
headers while delivering mails to other mail server you can achieve it using this option.
Each domain and its mapping should consist of alphanumerics, hyphen, underscore
and dot characters only.
