GFI MailEssentials Post-Installation Wizard

NOTE: This section applies only when installing GFI MailEssentials on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 machine.

IMPORTANT: You need to complete this wizard for GFI MailEssentials to work with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

The GFI MailEssentials installation wizard launches the GFI MailEssentials Post-Installation Wizard when you click Finish. The GFI MailEssentials Post-Installation Wizard registers GFI MailEssentials with the local installation of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 so that it can process the emails passing through the server.

To complete the GFI MailEssentials Post-Installation Wizard, follow these steps:

1. Click Next in the welcome page.

3. The wizard will display the accepted domain list collected from Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. If you need to specify another local domain, type it in the Inbound email domains box and click Add. If you want to remove a domain that you added from this page, click on it from the list, and then click Remove.

NOTE 1: The inbound email domains you add from this page affect the GFI MailEssentials installation only. The Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 accepted domains list is not modified.

NOTE 2: GFI MailEssentials does not support the use of wildcards when specifying inbound email domains. Thus, for example, specifying *.gfimalta.com as an inbound email domain is not supported.

NOTE 3: An asterisk (*) next to an inbound email domain is used to differentiate between domains detected by Microsoft Exchange, and those added manually. Inbound email domains shown with an asterisk next to them are domains detected by Microsoft Exchange.
