New ExchangeDefender Service Provider Feature: Alias Domains

One of the very basic yet missing features from ExchangeDefender has been the ability to add an alias domain to the existing ExchangeDefender account. Truth is, we used to have this feature and had to pull it from the feature set because resellers kept adding new clients domain names to the single domain login. Since domain to IP (or hostname) mappings at ExchangeDefender are 1:1, this eventually breaks and huge privacy and litigation nightmare ensues. Imagine client upon client receiving each others email for example or bouncing it outright.

Fast forward a few years and now we have actual service providers that are experts at managing customer’s messaging environments. We decided to bring the feature back and bring it into the Service Provider feature set. Just select a domain name under the Management screen and select “Add Domain Alias” – type in the new domain name you are adding to this client and you are done.

P.S. As mentioned earlier on this blog, we have had to freeze development in order to deal with some internal affairs. We have resumed development on the 10th of November so you should see the usual improvements to Own Web Now products continue as we head towards new years. If you’ve got an idea or recommendation on how to make our services better we are always listening, either submit it through the product feedback link under the Development tab at support.ownwebnow.com or through anonymous feedback portal.
