Administering
You can choose to set global protection options for all your mailboxes, adjust the settings of a particular mailbox, or view domain-wide interdiction statistics by logging into GatewayDefender Message Center as an administrator. There are two types of administrator account, both associated with particular mailboxes on your domain:
super-admin
This mailbox is the in-network email address you specified when ordering your hosting package; if you did not specify such an address, the super-admin mailbox will be cpusername@yourdomain.com (where cpusername is your Control Panel username and yourdomain.com is your actual domain name).
domain-admin
An existing mailbox that you have designated (through the GatewayDefender Control Panel option page) as an administrative account.
When logging into Message Center as an administrator, you will notice a wide variety of options, some of which are core GatewayDefender software features that have not been (and cannot be) integrated with MailManager. For example:
- The Service Settings, which are displayed if you are logged-in as the super-admin, should never be altered.
- The create new user (and remove user) features should never be used. If you need to add a new mailbox or delete an existing one, do so through Mail Manager.
To designate the domain administrator mailbox:
- Click GatewayDefender in your control panel.
- Under the GatewayDefender options at the top of the page, click Domain Administrator.
- Select a mailbox from the dropdown menu.
- Click Submit Administrator.
To manage mailboxes:
- Log into Message Center using the designated domain administrator mailbox.
- Click Admin to show the administrative interface.
