the port and root path of

- Domain: Your domain name. Used by the POP and SMTP
servers for connection
protocol purposes. If Post Office is to be used only internally on
your local
network then you can just make up a domain name. If you intend to
connect to
the outside world then you'll need a registered domain name.
- Dns Host: The ip of a dns server. Could be internal,
your uplink dns server or
some public dns server. This is used to find the mail exchange of
target
domains in order to deliver outbound mail.
