FQDN INFORMATION
The IEMS (Internet Exchange Messaging Server) 6 can be configured to have all components run on a single machine, or across multiple machines on a distributed environment. The Preprocessor modules, such as the anti-virus for example be located on an auxiliary machine other than the MTA machine speed up external message processing. In addition to this, IEMS 6 components such as the Message Store, cc:Mail connector, Lotus Notes Connector, and the LDAP Server can reside on their own machines, should the message processing load demand the off loading of these functions. The license of IEMS 6 is tied with the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the machines (other than the PreProcessor Modules) running the IEMS 6 components. The FQDN for a given machine is the combination of its Host Name and Domain Name. For instance, the FQDN for the machine mail in the domain ima.com is mail.ima.com. To fill the FQDN information, do the following:

  1. Type the FQDNs of the machines that will run the IEMS components. You will use:

    • MTA server

    • Directory Server

    • Message Store

    • cc:Mail Connector

    • Notes Connector

    If the FQDN is missing or invalid, you will be asked to input it again.

  2. Choose the corresponding operating system you will use.
  3. Click the Finish button to complete the registration process.
