Domain Mapping

Posted on October 27, 2019 by tim

If you use multiple domains then you may encounter the situation whereby you want emails sent to recipient enquiries@ to be sent to different members of staff depending on the recipient domain.

In you only have one domain then directing incoming email to enquiries@ to a specific user or users is easy using email aliasing.

Aliasing is found on the Igaware interface in Servers=>Email=>Aliases. Here you can create the alias name ‘enquiries’ and select the recipient user(s).

Simple!

Where you have multiple domains Igaware has a nifty facility called domain mapping. Domain mapping in conjunction with aliases allows you to deliver emails to a recipient e.g. enquiries@) to different members of staff according to the domain used in the address. Here’s how:

On the Igaware interface go to Servers=>Email=>Domain Mapping.

Create a domain map for enquiries@myfirstdomaim.com to be delivered to an alias called, for example, ‘enquiriesfirstdomain’.

You then go to aliases and create an alias called ‘enquiriesfirstdoamin’ and select the recipient(s).

Then repeat for the other domains.

Job done.

As your small business grows, the Igaware Linux Small Business Server becomes a great solution to avoid IT growing pains, enabling you to implement enterprise quality IT services that match a small business budget.

Start-up businesses tend to begin life using a mix of public IT services e.g. gmail and drop box. This get starts you communicating and sharing information at minimum cost but, as your business grows, making your email and data private and secure is increasingly important as there is more to lose if things go wrong.

As your business grows there will come a time when having email and data secured and supported becomes a priority. Most businesses realise they have reached this point when problems occur with their current IT setup – growing pains if you like.

Growing pains come in a number of forms:

Problems sending and receiving emails.
Email spam and scams cause business disruption.
Frustration with email or data services not working as they should.

Need to adhere to data privacy and security standards such (PCI & GDPR)

The Igaware Linux Small Business Server is the perfect fit for your growing businesses as you scale up. It brings email and data under your control; private and secured on-premise. It delivers email and groupware services, central file sharing, data backup, and secure remote access for staff out and about.

The Igaware Linux Business Server incredibly robust and includes a UTM firewall that ensures your data and email is secured. Continuous automatic updates means there are no software updates to download and install, meaning no downtime, and no security holes.

And it’s easy to use too. Setting up a new email address or connecting a new device to your network can be done without having to call the cavalry – it’s all done through an easy to use web interface.

So if you’re ready to grow your business with IT pain, check out the Igaware Linux Small Business Server.

Careful what you twitter – the fraudsters are watching!

Posted on January 8, 2018 by tim

I was chatting with one of our customers today who recently came close to becoming a victim of a banking scam, all because of a rant on twitter.

With a mortgage due for renewal they had contacted their bank who basically cocked up the process such that a rant on twitter was in-order. In response to the rant a very apologetic guy from the bank’s customer services department contacted them and promised to resolve the issue in person.

To get the mortgage through they were asked to resubmit an application online, and email proof of ID – photos of passports.

The application was successful and 50k was paid into their bank account ready to be transferred to a new account the bank had setup. The 50k showed up in their on-line banking as did the new account. It all looked legit.

It was only at the last minute when the customer service guy phoned them to ask them to go in person to the bank to authorise the transfer, that the customer thought, hold on, something’s not right.

It turns out the customer service guy was a fraudster and the 50k was a fraudulent loan setup in the customer’s name .

Next time you want to post something on-line, be it twitter or anywhere else, be aware that fraudsters are watching!
