Configuring your MailCube
Integrate the appliance completely into your architecture
This chapter explains the fields to enter during the configuration of your MailCube so that it can filter
incoming mail according to Vade Retro’s predefined settings.
Network settings interface
To access the settings interface, click on "Configuration" then "Network". See Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1 Network settings interface
The settings interface offers a mask during the validation or modification of the network settings
defined the first time the solution was powered up. Each time information is entered, a tooltip will
define the type of content to enter in the text box (Figure 5-2).
Figure 5-2 “Server name” field and the associated tooltip
Here you will be able to validate the following information:
• Server name: the name you would like to give with your domain extension (e.g.
mailcubename.yourdomain.com).
• Primary Network Interface: Network information for the first interface of the appliance (IP
address, Subnet Mask, IP Gateway).
• Secondary Network Interface: network information for the second interface of the appliance (IP
address, Subnet Mask, IP Gateway). This interface has a DHCP server. It will allow you
to physically take control of the appliance in case you misplace the configuration of
the primary interface.
• DNS Server: The domain name servers (DNS) entered will allow the appliance to communicate with
other devices on your network (e-mail server, etc...) using the DNS name.
• Proxy Server: This field must be entered if you use a proxy server to access the internet.
• NTP Clock Synchronization: This setting will allow the appliance’s clock to synchronize with your
network clock and especially with the e-mail server.
