Description

A notation about the domain created (for the administrator only).

Message size limit

The maximum size limit for all sent messages (via SMTP, WebDAV, etc.). The limit applies only to the domain specified.

It is recommended to activate this option for each domain that contains user mailboxes. This way, you can prevent the internet connection from being overloaded with messages with large attachments (images, clips, music, etc.).

If the limit is set to 0, Kerio MailServer behaves the same way as if no limit was set.

The message size limit can be also set for individual users separately (see chapter 13.2  Creating a user account). The limit set for a particular user has higher priority than the limit set for the domain.

Restoring deleted items

Using this option, the deleted items (messages, events, contacts, notes and tasks) can be moved back to the Deleted items folder. Users can also specify how long the items should be preserved so that they can be restored when needed.

The settings depend on the number of user mailboxes in Kerio MailServer and free disk space. However, the time must not exceed one year, i.e. 365 days. If the specified number is too large, the domain settings cannot be saved.

It is recommended to enable this option for all domains that contain user mailboxes, so that the items deleted by mistake (messages, events, contacts or tasks) can be easily restored.

To restore the items and move them back to Deleted items folder, select Configuration → Domain settings → User accounts. For information about restoring items for selected users, see chapter 13.7  Restoring deleted items.

User count limit

This option is useful especially when administration of user accounts via web interface is used (see chapter 31  KMS Web Administration). Users with administration rights cannot break this limit.
