11.1  Internet Connection

Kerio MailServer can either be installed on a computer that has a permanent connection to the Internet (leased line, wireless connection, cable modem, xDSL, etc.) or on a computer with a dial-up connection (analog or ISDN modem). Using the built-in scheduler you can set when the mailserver will automatically dial out a connection and perform a mail exchange.

Online

Kerio MailServer is permanently connected to the Internet. Outgoing mail is sent immediately.

Offline

The server is not permanently connected to the Internet. Outgoing mail is stored in a queue and is sent in time intervals set in the Scheduler.

Check the Use RAS to connect to Internet option if you intend to let the line dial within the scheduled time intervals. Dial-up connection is available only on MS Windows. This option is not supported in Linux and Mac OS X systems. Dial-up entries created in Windows are offered in the Select RAS line menu. Kerio MailServer can use the username and the password which have been assigned to the appropriate dial-up connection by a user (the Use user and password specified in system option) or you can enter the username and password directly into this dialog (the Specify user and password option).

Warning

The dial-up connection must be created for all users within the system (this can be defined within definition of an appropriate connection).
