Creating Peer List

How to get here

Before you create the peer list, you need to set up the peer servers. Once you have done that, you set up the peer list as follows:

1. Enter the IP Address (not a virtual address) of an IMail Server that you want to peer with the current mail server into the text box at the bottom of the Peer List, then click Add.
2. Repeat above step until you have added all of the peer servers you want to include.
3. Repeat steps 1, and 2 on each mail domain server that will be used as a peer server.

   Important: You do not need to add the local current server's IP address in the peer list. You need to enter only the other peers. Example.

   Note: The server does not have to be restarted after editing the peer list.

4. On each peer mail server, make sure the primary domain (for example, ipswitch.net) is the only entry in the Domain Aliases box on the Domain Properties page (Adding a New IMail Domain, Setting Domain Properties). This alias names the primary domain used to send and receive mail.

Important: The domain alias cannot be a primary domain associated with a particular host. Do not enter IP addresses in the Domain Aliases box.

Important: On each of the three computers, make sure the Default Mail Domain or IP box on the Services > SMTP tab is empty when using peer lists.
