Issue

Why does the Mirapoint or RazorGate appliance allow me to create users without creating an associated mailbox?

Solution

Mirapoint allows administrators to create accounts for individuals such as other administrators, or users who may not wish to receive mail on a Mirapoint appliance. The RazorGate appliance does not have mailboxes, rather it receives mail for users for a given hostname which it then routes to the correct destination Message Server.

To create a user without creating a mailbox, issue the following CLI commands:

User Add login pwd"Full Name"

then

Role Add role login
