Domain Management

A domain represents the container of all email accounts, alias domains, and email aliases. In TempusMail, domain management focuses on hosting email accounts, distinct from domain registration with your provider.

The Domains list displays all domains in the system.

Information Displayed:

• Status: Updating, Waiting for ownership, Enabled, Disabled, Error.
• Counts: Active Email Accounts / Total Available.
• Aliases: Count of active alias domains and email aliases.
• Plan: Basic, Professional, or Enterprise.

Actions:

• Click on a domain name to manage accounts and settings.
• Click More (icon) to Disable or Delete a domain.

1. Go to Domains in the sidebar.
2. Click + Domain.

Choose between Basic, Professional, or Enterprise. Features vary by plan.

• Domain Name: e.g., mydomain.com.
• Owner/Company: Entity owning the domain.
• Postmaster Password: Password for the administrative postmaster account created automatically.
• Defaults: Language and Time Zone.

Set limits for accounts based on storage size (e.g., number of 8GB, 25GB, or 50GB accounts).

• Set default quota size for new accounts.
• Set maximum quota per account.

enable/disable default services for the domain:

• POP / IMAP / SMTP Access
• Webmail
• Exchange ActiveSync / DAV Access

IP Restrictions: Limit access to POP/IMAP/Webmail to specific keys IPs (max 5) for the entire domain.

Spam Filter: Set sensitivity level (Aggressive, Standard, Tolerant). Recommended: Standard.

Before activating email services, you must prove ownership. Click the domain in the list to see verification options.

Point a DNS record to a specific IP. A unique record is generated, e.g., d458381318.mydomain.com A 185.97.217.16.

1. Go to your DNS provider.
2. Create the A Record as specified.
3. Wait for propagation (can take 12-24 hours, though often faster).
4. Click Verify DNS in the TempusMail panel.

If active elsewhere, receive a code via an existing email address (e.g., admin@mydomain.com) and enter it in the panel.

1. Download the generated HTML file.
2. Upload it to your website's root directory.
3. Click Execute Verification.

Note: After verification, remember to update your MX records to point to TempusMail servers.
