Adding virtual domains using Mailsite Express instances Setting up new instances of Mailsite Express to reflect a new virtual domain.

To allow users to access your customized pages, you must add your MailSite Express directory as a virtual directory in an IIS web site. This is done automatically during MailSite Express installation. However, if you want to manually add the virtual directory to IIS, execute the following steps:

  1. Make a copy of the Express folder (and subfolders), rename with an appropiate name.
  2. In the IIS Management Console, create a new virtual directory in the Default Web Site (or another existing site).
  3. In the New Virtual Directory Wizard, select your new MailSite Express directory as the source directory.
  4. Click the right mouse button on the new virtual directory in the Management Console and select Properties.
  5. Once these changes have been made, go to your new MailSite Express directory and customize the files as needed
  6. Under the Directory security tab of the virtual directory, you should ensure the NT account specified there has at least modify permissions on the MailSite, BOX, Spool and Express directories.
