Configuring Kolab with setup-kolab
After having installed kolab (following the appropriate install guide in this knowledge base) it needs to be configured. The script ‘setup-kolab’ is distributed with the out-of-the-box installation and is taking care of the basic configuration, but a successful configuration is depending on the environment that Kolab is installed into. Many aspects and variables will have an impact on the configuration. This guide is only touching on the absolute basics.

This article outlines how to increase the mail and file size accepted.
Using Catch All Email Addresses
A catch-all email address is an address that is used as a fall-back for when no other recipients are available. Ergo, it is the email address that receives all email for a domain that isn’t already delivered to other users or groups or shared folders.
