This feature (Figure 4.30) aims to save all the incoming and outgoing email messages in two accounts: sentmail and receivedmail.
Note: It is necessary to pay attention to the management of these Mail Copies, especially in places with a lot of e-mail traffic. It is very important to control the development of the occupied server hard drive space. These e-mail inboxes may quickly reach the full size of the partition. By reaching this size they may cause some trouble either with interferences with other server applications or to the ones responsible for these e-mail inboxes that at a certain stage will loose a series of mails because no copy could have been made.
When you activate this service (Yes
) the mails are copied to the corresponding account, that is:
Sent: YES
, all mails that get through this SMTP server and whose sender is from the server domain(s) will be copied to the Sent Mails
local account;
Received: YES
, all mails that get through this SMTP server and whose sender is not from the server domain(s) will be copied to the Received Mails
local account.
When you activate the option (Yes
) the system shows the Delete Automatically
the Copies
field. This field allows defining whether the mail copies that are in the server are to be deleted or not. The Delete Copies With More Than
field allows specifying the days after which mail copies are to be deleted in the server.
