Administrator Help
The SurgePlus client is free. However your SurgeMail server won't support the
SurgePlus client unless you puchase a SurgePlus server license key to work with
your SurgeMail server. If you are running the trial version of SurgeMail then
SurgePlus will work. If you are already using a registered version of SurgeMail
then you can create yourself a temporary SurgePlus license key on then License
Key page.
Controlling access to SurgePlus
You can
disable SurgePlus with the g_disable_surgeplus setting.
SurgePlus users the same user database as SurgeMail uses for email. By default,
all your email users are able to use SurgePlus. You can selectively allow
access to SurgePlus using the domain user_access_default setting or for individual
users using their authentication database user_access field.
For example, if you want to allow only a single domain to use SurgePlus, then
you would set your g_user_access_default setting to "all,!surgeplus", the user_access_default
setting for the particular domain you want to allow to "all". If there is a single
user within a second domain that you want to allow SurgePlus access to, you could
give their use_access database field a value of "all".
Downloading and customizing the SurgePlus client
New versions of SurgePlus are automatically downloaded from netwinsite.com
to your SurgeMail server to be made available for download by your users. Use
the g_disable_surgeplus_updates setting to stop this. SurgeMail will automatically
configure its local copy of the client download to connect back to your server.
To download an automatically configured SurgePlus client from your server make
sure you use a valid SurgeMail domain name in the URL. For example "http://your.domain.name:7026/surgeplus/".
In this case the SurgePlus client will be automatically configured to use your.domain.name
as the server to connect to.
You can further customize the SurgePlus client (for example changing default preferences
or images). See the 'Default Preferences', 'Appearance', 'Email Template', and 'Web Template'
sections of your SurgePlus administrator web interface.
Mirroring Notes
If you are using a mirror server, then all SurgePlus data is mirrored to your mirror server.
Your users are able to connect to either server to use SurgePlus. However, if you are
only using your mirror server for backup purposes (i.e. your users will never be connecting
to it) then you do not need a SurgePlus license for the mirror server.
