ArGoSoft Mail Server Pro – Quick Start Guide
How long does it take to get ArGoSoft Mail Server Pro installed, running and
operational? If you have your MX record defined correctly and your server is ready to
go, ArGoSoft Mail Server Pro can be installed in less than 3 minutes. Basic setup takes
about 3 minutes, and defining a user takes about 1 minute. For a small e-mail system
with ten users, that is about 16 minutes from installing the software to receiving your first
e-mail. When it comes to fast, simple and reliable nothing can compete with ArGoSoft
Mail Server Pro!
For the really impatient here are the steps to get going:
1. Define MX records in DNS
Install ArGoSoft Mail Server Pro
2. Under Administrator - Set Your Main Password.
3. Under Tools - Options
a. Define DNS server options – your server is now ready to send mail!
b. Ports - Your Web Interface Port: Change it from 80 to 8080 or 8180 or
whatever you want, just as long as it doesn't take over port 80. ISS
(Internet Service Manager) could interfere if you use the same ports
between both programs. You may have to check what ports are in use.
c. Logging - Recommend everything but the Web-Interface logging.
d. Advance - Do not use finger (checked). Use Shared Memory for Data
Exchange (if you are using v1.8.0.0 – 1.8.1.2).
e. Tools - Security - SMTP Authentication. All boxes should be checked.
4. Tools - Configuration. Create a new domain. For example: If your domain is
www.mydomain.com, create a domain called mydomain.com.
5. Click on mydomain.com. To the Right Window - Right-Click and add new user.
Create postmaster and any other users you wish to make at this time.
6. Close Configuration – Stop and Start the Argo Mail Server Pro service or reboot
the server – DONE!
