Auto-creation of Users Email Protection Administrator Guide MX Record Validation You can validate that the MX Records that are configured for your domain are properly redirected by entering the specific DNS and/or IP address for your MTA server. The Control Console displays the MX Record configuration as reported by the authoritative DNS server. See Check Your MX Record. Alias Domain Names You can configure alias domain names that act as virtual domains using the configurations and email addresses defined in the primary Domain name. Email addresses are created automatically for alias domains (for example, [email protected] is automatically created for [email protected]), allowing the single user to receive email for both addresses.

The filters are configured by using policies, which are the parameters for the filters default policies are automatically assigned to each of your domains.
