Set up User Creation Mode — SMTP Discovery or Explicit
2 Check the Recommended MX Record Settings. This section indicates a list of
typical MX Record configurations using the system-defined default values and the
currently selected domain name. Note that this list may not match your actual MX
Record configurations. These values are configured at the system level.
You can alternatively enter a fully-qualified DNS Server name at your company in the
Target Authoritative Name Server field, then click Analyze. This capability is helpful if
the default display of MX records appears to be incomplete or in error.
Similar results to those returned by Email Protection provider's DNS Server might occur.
Note: You can also select the View only this name server link to reduce the number of
DNS server lists of MX Records. Click the View all name servers link list all DNS
servers again.
Set up User Creation Mode — SMTP
Discovery or Explicit
Note: This procedure applies only if your service includes Email Protection.
Explicit user creation means that you must add user email addresses using one of the
methods that are described later. SMTP Discovery means that users are created
automatically based on SMTP transactions. That is, several incoming email messages to a
user indicate that the user exists for the customer. As a result, Email Protection creates that
user in the Control Console.
SMTP Discovery is the default setting for a new customer, such that at initial startup of
service, users might be created in the Control Console without any administration by you,
the Customer Administrator.
Note: Only messages delivered to recipient email addresses in a primary domain are
counted for the purpose of user creation. Messages sent to recipient email addresses in
alias domains are not counted. When the action is deny, the email is rejected and an error
message is displayed to the sender.
If you use Directory Integration, explicit user creation is highly-recommended.
To turn on Explicit User Creation, perform the following steps:
1 Click Email Protection | Setup.
2 Click User Creation Settings.
