Configuring some important settings

Settings allow you to configure various aspects of Unified WIM and Unified EIM. Some settings are configured at the partition level, while others have to be set up for each department.

In this section, we describe certain settings that should be configured soon after installation. These settings are of two types:

1.Mandatory settings: These settings must be configured before using Unified WIM and Unified EIM. These include the settings related to ESMTP protocol, which must be configured if you are using ESMTP protocol for exception and spam emails and notifications.

2.Optional settings: Although it is not mandatory to change these settings, you are likely to feel the need to configure them for your business.
