My SQL User Database
- Secure Email Gateway is capable of verifying the validity of users by referring to a 'MySQL User Database' located on a remote server.
- If the recipient is not a valid user then email is rejected at the SMTP level. Since the filtering process is not engaged for invalid recipients, Secure Email Gateway's resources are not wasted.
- The 'MySQL User Database profiles' added here are available for selection in interfaces such as 'Manage Domains > Routes'.
- To open the 'MySQL User Database' screen,
- Click the 'SMTP' tab on the left menu
- Click 'SMTP' > 'LDAP/DB' > 'MySQL User Database':
