Getting Started

---

After installation, there are a couple of things you'll want to configure prior to starting.

1. If you're going to be using the SMTP Forward functionality then you'll need to configure the "Outgoing SMTP Server" and "Email From" settings on the Global Settings - Smtp Settings screen. If you do not configure these settings, then the BounceStudio SMTP Service will not start.

2. You may also want to configure some of the other "Global Settings" values, although this is not mandatory.

3. After you're done with the above steps, you'll be ready to create a new BounceStudio POP Account. Doing this will tell BounceStudio Enterprise which bounce email account you want it to monitor. For instructions on creating your first BounceStudio POP Account, click here.

4. Once you're done creating your BounceStudio POP Account, you may want to configure additional settings for that POP Account. For example, you may want to edit the POP Account's Database, Http Push, or Smtp Forward actions.

5. Next, to get a feel for what BounceStudio Enterprise is doing, we recommend clicking over to the "Current Activity - Bounce Service" and/or "Current Activity - Smtp Service" screens. From these screens, you'll be able to start/stop the BounceStudio Enterprise Services and view information on what actions they're performing.
