Setting the IP Address for a Virtual Host

If you use a virtual IMail domain with an IP Address , all capabilities of regular IMail Server mail domains are available to virtual domains with IP addresses. The only limitations of virtual IMail domains with IP addresses are:

• Each virtual domain requires its own unique IP address.

In Microsoft Windows, this requires the extra step of adding an IP address in the Windows NT TCP/IP configuration in the Control Panel (Network Connections > Local Area Connections > Properties > TCP/IP Protocol > Advanced).

Note: With Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add up to five IP addresses in the Network applet. If you need to add more than five IP addresses, refer to the operating system documentation for more information.

Important: Whether you use a real IP address or a virtual IP address, you need to make the proper DNS entries for your mail domain(s). If you use a virtual IP address, the MX record (in DNS) for the mail domain must point to a real IP address.
