Administering a Remote Client

To Administer a remote client that has already accepted an Administration Link

Click on the remote client from the list of available clients (a client that has accepted your Administration Link will show the version of their MailRules.exe to the right of their e-mail address).
Click the Administer button.

You will now be presented with the Administer User screen:

Administrator - Admin User

Use the Inbound, Outbound and Times buttons to access and change the clients' Inbound, Outbound Rules and Check Times. Note that in the bottom-right hand corner of these three views, there is a button that allows you to edit the Local Aliases of the remote client.
Use the Log Files button to access a list of all available daily log files which you may view.
Use the Status button to show a complete history of requests you have made to the remote client and the results of those requests.

Note that the first time you Administer a remote client, neither the Database nor Log Files are available. You must request these individually using the options discussed below

In the General box, you have several options for actions you can perform on the Adminstered client. You select the operations you wish to perform by ticking option boxes, your options are only actioned when you click the Process button.


Option	Description
Request user database	The user database contains the Inbound & Outbound Rules and the Check Times. In order to amend these for a remote client, you must firstly request the database from the client. Selecting this option prepares the Administrator to request the database from the remote client.
Request user log files	The user log files contain all the text information written by MailRules to the daily log files. The daily log files are stored in the Working Folder. You can request remote client log files and view them. Selecting this option prepares the Administrator to request the logfiles from the remote client.
Return user database	If you have made changes to the remote clients' Inbound or Outbound Rules or the Check Times, selecting this option prepares the Administrator to return the database to the remote client.
Request admin link	Only available if the remote client has not yet accepted your Administration Link Request. Selecting this option prepares the Administrator to send an Administration Link Request to the remote client.
Remove admin link	You can remove your administration relationship with a client. The client will receive a notification that you are no longer their Administrator. Selecting this option prepares the Administrator to send a message to the remote client that will remove the Administration Link.
Process	All actions that you have selected are actioned.
