Description
Provisioning a domain in the Mailprotector Console is a simple process. The setup consists of creating the domain and customer in the Console, adding users or addresses to the created domain, confirming the connection to your destination email host, and changing the MX records of the domain to begin delivery of email to Mailprotector's CloudFilter solution.
The implementation process is designed to be relatively easy, but as with any new tool, there will be additional features and configurations that you will learn about and decide to apply based on your or your clients' needs.
Applies to:
Console, CloudFilter
Requirements
Before beginning to provision a domain in the Console, you should have:
- A Mailprotector Console manager account with administrator or technical role
- Administrative access to the firewall (if applicable)
- Administrative access to the email server or hosted email admin center
- Administrative access to change the domain's public DNS records
- The hostname or IP address of the email server or hosted destination
As you follow the documentation, you will find links to Configuration Guides that will help you determine some of the information required to complete the setup process. If the guides do not apply to your situation or you have additional questions, please open a request with Support.
Overview
The steps are described in more detail, individually, in the Getting Started section of the knowledge base:
- Step 1 - Add the Customer and Domain
