1. Concept
SocketMail is a multi-domain and unlimited users
mail server. To enable this idea to take place,
functionality and interface are designed into this
provider-host-users relationship. Per server, there
is only one (1) provider and the provider function
is to provide service to all hosts/domains which
the provider hosted. Each host then serve public
or users.
From this relationship, its clear that each node or
members of the relationship have it own task and
function. Therefore, provider will have Provider
Console to administrate service for hosts/domains.
Host/Domain will have Webmaster Console to
manage rights and functionality provided by
provider plus to serve it users. End-user will have the web client interface to manage it mails and to utilize
services and products provided by the provider via the host.
2. Accessing the Provider Admin Area
The Provider Administrative area (Provider Admin) can be access via the browser at the following URL :
http://your.domain.com/admincp/provider/
Enter the Provider Admin login and password (as you defined during installation) to gain access.
