9. THE EMAIL SERVER
There are several ways to read email these days. It is also common to
have several email accounts on several different places. BUBBA
provides a simple solution to this, by collecting all your email at one
place.
9.1. HANDLING INCOMING EMAILS
If you have your own domain name it is possible to let BUBBA handle
your incoming and outgoing email, instead of paying for this service.
When adding a user, you automatically get an email account set up on
your BUBBA. Follow these steps to get the email service running:
1. Browse to
http://bubba/web-admin/
(
http://bubba.local/web-admin/
if using MAC).
2. Log on as ‘admin’.
3. Click ‘Mail’.
4. Enter your domain name (i.e. ‘mydomain.com’) in the field ‘Handle
mail for domain’.
5. Click update.
You also need to open the appropriate ports in your firewall (SMTP, port
25) in order for this to work. See chapter
REACHING BUBBA FROM
OUTSIDE
for more information regarding this. After this has been done,
email sent to your domain will be received by BUBBA, and made
available in every users ‘Mail’ folder. For instance, email sent to
‘[email protected]’ will be made available to user1, and email sent
to ‘[email protected]’ will be made available to user2. There are
two ways to access your email, either from the web mail service or using
IMAP to make the email available in your favorite email client.
It is possible to receive email to more than one domain. If you for
instance want BUBBA to handle email to [email protected] and
[email protected], it’s possible to type more than one domain in
the ‘Handle mail for domain’ field (space separated). Note that BUBBA
can’t separate these domains; email to [email protected] and to
[email protected] will end up in the same mailbox (the one
belonging to user1). The email routing is done only on user basis.
