2.3. E-mail Domains
A domain identifies company web sites, e-mail servers, but also other devices such as gateways and routers
via a common name. For example, microsoft.com is the domain name of Microsoft’s web sites and update
servers. A single web server can serve web sites for multiple domain names, but a single FQDN can
only point to one machine. For example, Apple Computer has the following web sites: www.apple.com,
www.info.apple.com and store.apple.com. Each of these sites could be hosted on different machines.
The AXS GUARD MTA allows you to handle mail for one or multiple domains. All e-mails for a configured
domain can either be handled and stored locally, forwarded to a specific computer or relayed out to a specific
SMTP server. Users only have one physical mailbox, even if they are a member of multiple local domains on
the AXS GUARD. All messages destined to a member of one of these domains are delivered to the same
physical mailbox.
For detailed information about e-mail domains and their configuration, see the AXS GUARD E-mail Relay How
To, which can be accessed by clicking on the permanently available Documentation button in the Administrator
Tool.
