WARNING!!! - THIS GUIDE IS NOT YET COMPLETE!!! - WARNING!!!

This is a quick overview on how to add a Domain and User to MXRouting, while this is pretty simple, we will be able to get the information we need for creating some mail records on our Domain host, which is very important.

Login to MXRouting MXRouting and go to Domain Setup.


Click Add New.


Enter the new Domain Name and click Create.

Now that we have created our Domain, we can add a user to it.

In MXRouting, expand the E-Mail Manager menu and select E-Mail Accounts.


Ensure that in the Top Right of the screen you have the correct Domain selected (the one you just added). Then select Create Account. There will already be a default user here called ukgreenn that you can ignore.


Click Create Account.

A confirmation box will appear to show that you have created a user and to confirm that users details.
