Lookup Utilities

• MX Lookup - This tool will return any MX records listed for each of the host names provided. This is performed using the current Outgoing Mail DNS settings.
• What SMTP? Lookup - This tool will connect to each of the host names on the default SMTP port (port 25) and display the welcome message received. This message often contains information about the mail server software running on the host and also possibly the name of the company.
• Test DNS Hosts - This tool will connect to each of the host names provided and check that they can perform valid MX lookups.
• Auto-Detect System DNS Hosts - This tool will return the auto-detected DNS list for your server.
• Test Auto-Detected System DNS Hosts - This tool will connect to each of the the auto-detected DNS hosts for your server and check that they can perform valid MX lookups.

Configuration Report
This generates a setup report detailing the most important parts of your configuration. This is useful for showing a basic outline of your configuration to a third party for problem solving or otherwise.

System Diagnostics
This will perform tests on all settings and check for any possible problems. The tests include checking for configuration errors, port conflicts, SMTP security issues, outgoing mail routes and automatic POP3 retrievals. Some of the tests involve connecting to a remote host (e.g. a static route) and verifying that the remote host exists and that it accepts any login details provided.

Export System Settings
This tool allows you to export settings, accounts and mails to an Ocean Mail Server backup file.

• File Path - This will be the file that backup information will be stored in. A file path is automatically generated for each export so you usually won't need to change this. Backup files have a".oms" extension by default though other file types can still be used.
• Configuration - If enabled, all main configuration settings (e.g. general, services etc.) will be exported.
• Users, Domains, Groups, Mailing Lists and Shared Address Books - If enabled, all account settings will be exported.
• User Mails and Account Data - If enabled, all user mails and user data will be exported. This includes information such as the user address books, auto-responses, signatures, etc.
• Logs - If enabled, all logs in the main log folder (usually config\logs) will be exported.
• WebMail Templates - If enabled, all webmail templates that are in use will be exported.
• SSL Certificates - If enabled, all SSL certificates will be exported.
• LDAP Compiled Databases - If enabled, all compiled LDAP databases will be exported. Note that the 'Configuration' contains the LDAP database settings, which can also be used to compile the databases.
• Bayesian Filtering Database - If enabled, the Bayesian database will be exported.
• Outgoing Mail Queue - If enabled, any mails in the outgoing mail queue will be exported.
• Estimate - When at least one option is selected, the estimate will allow you to produce a summary of the number of files and file sizes that will be generated by each option with a total shown at the bottom of the summary.
• Export - Once you have completed your estimate, you can proceed to export the appropriate settings.

Import System Settings
This tool allows you to import settings, accounts and mails from an Ocean Mail Server backup file created using the Export tool above. Importing may alter or overwrite existing files and settings. Therefore, we strongly recommend checking all settings after importing to ensure that your server remains secure and will still function correctly.

• File Path - This should be a file which contains backup information stored previously using the export tool above. Backup files have a ".oms" extension by default though other file types can still be used.
• Configuration - If enabled, all main configuration settings (e.g. general, services etc.) will be imported.
• Users, Domains, Groups, Mailing Lists and Shared Address Books - If enabled, all account settings will be imported.
• User Mails and Account Data - If enabled, all user mails and user data will be imported. This includes information such as the user address books, auto-responses, signatures, etc.
• Logs - If enabled, all logs in the main log folder (usually config\logs) will be imported.
• WebMail Templates - If enabled, all webmail templates will be imported.
• SSL Certificates - If enabled, all SSL certificates will be imported.
• LDAP Compiled Databases - If enabled, all compiled LDAP databases will be imported. Note that the 'Configuration' contains the LDAP database settings, which can also be used to compile the databases.
• Bayesian Filtering Database - If enabled, the Bayesian database will be imported.
• Outgoing Mail Queue - If enabled, any mails from the outgoing mail queue will be imported.
• Read - When a valid backup file is provided, this will allow you to find out what settings are stored in the file. This will produce a summary of the relevant number of files and file sizes contained within the file.
• Import - Once you have completed your read and selected the options you want to import, you can proceed to import the appropriate settings.

Export Users to CSV File
This tool allows you to export users to a universally accepted CSV file which can be used with other mail servers.

• Export - This will prompt for a file path and data fields to be exported. Once this information has been gathered the export will start.

Import Users from CSV File
This tool allows you to import users from a universally accepted CSV file which can be also obtained from other mail servers. Importing may alter or overwrite existing files and settings. Therefore, we strongly recommend checking all settings after importing to ensure that your server remains secure and will still function correctly.

• Import - This will prompt for a file path of the CSV file containing the user data to be imported. Once this has been selected the available fields will be loaded in to allow you to select which fields will map to which attributes or if you want you can default the domain, group and enabled status to a set value. Once this information has been gathered the import will start.

Clean up Unused Files and Directories
This tool allows you to scan the accounts and LDAP directories for any sub-directories / files that are no longer used by the mail server. Once the scan is complete, you can then choose which directories / files you want to delete.
