Adding a new domain manually in SmarterMail is a simple process that gives you full control over domain-specific settings. Follow the steps below to add a domain using the domain administrator account.
Access the SmarterMail web interface and log in using your domain administrator credentials.
Once you're logged in, you'll see the SmarterMail 16 dashboard.
Click the New button (usually located in the upper-left corner).
A new prompt or window will appear to enter domain details.
In the Add Domain prompt, fill in the following fields:
Name: Enter the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), e.g., example.com.
Hostname (optional): This is added automatically if left blank.
Folder (optional): Automatically generated if left blank.
Domain Administrator Username: This user manages the domain and has higher-level access, including domain-level reports.
Domain Administrator Password: Set a strong password for the domain administrator.
Click Save once the form is complete.
After saving, you'll be taken to the domain management settings screen.
Ensure Require SMTP Authentication is checked for better email security.
You can configure domain-specific limits such as:
Disk Space
Number of Users
User Aliases
These limits help control resource usage per domain.
Most default settings will work well for general use.
However, you can customize other settings such as:
Email throttling
Greylisting
Content filtering
After reviewing and configuring any optional settings, click Save to apply the changes.
