Post Installation Guide

# Post Installation Instructions

### 1. Creating a user

- To create users, select Accounts/Lookup from the admin interface (https://yourserver:7025)
- Enter a username and password and click on Create.

### 2. Test locally

- Use the builting surgeweb to send/receive local emails https://your.server/surgeweb
- Use any IMAP/POP email client/app to send/receive local messages.

### 3. Incoming mail

- You will need to add your MX dns entries correctly to receive email.

- MX 10 your.domain.name --> mail.your.domain.name
- A mail.your.domain.name --> 1.1.1.1 (your ip address)

- Turn off any firewall or enable ports 25,110,143,80,443 at least.

### 4. Outgoing mail

- It should work immediately, if it doesn't check the logs for the reason, your ISP may be blocking port 25, in which case you can send via their system using a g_gateway rule, or move your server to an unrestricted place (we recommend a hosting provider like Linode.com).
