- Create. Creates the sub-mailbox and delivers the message.

- Send to Inbox. Does not create the sub-mailbox. Instead the message is delivered to "main".

- Bounce. Bounces the mail as an invalid user.

5. Enable any of the following options: The following options apply for the entire domain.

- Enable Virus Scanning. If this option is enabled, then virus scanning is enabled for the entire domain. If this option is cleared, virus scanning is disabled for the entire domain. This option is only visible if you have IMail Anti-Virus installed, and virus scanning is enabled in IMail Administrator.

- Enable Spell Checking. Enables the spell check when composing messages.

- Enable IMail Web Calendaring. Allows users to access IMail Web Calendaring from IMail Web Messaging.

6. Select the connection type. The following options apply for the entire domain.

- Enable SSL. Allows the option of using Secure Socket Layers for security.

- Force SSL. Forces the virtual host to use Secure Socket Layers for security.

Note: If the default domain is set to Force SSL, all virtual domains will also be restricted to using SSL. This is because the login page is based upon the default domain's settings. However, if a virtual domain is set for Force SSL there will be no impact on other virtual domains or for the default domain.
