   Field descriptions

   Field	Description
   Minimum password length (characters)	Minimum number of characters that passwords must contain. Note: If you enter ‘0’, the passwords do not need to be of a minimum length.
   Period of validity (days)	Time duration after which the user must change their password. Note: If you enter ‘0’, the passwords will never expire.
   Impose secure passwords	If this check box is selected, the minimum password length is automatically set to six characters. In addition, Inxmail Professional will check all passwords created in future for whether they comply with the following guidelines: The password must not contain the user name. The password must contain at least one character from each of the following categories: Upper-case letters from A–Z Lower-case letters from a–z Numbers 0–9 Special characters (for example, !,$,#,%) Note: If you also want users to adjust their existing passwords to conform to these requirements, you should additionally select the Impose change of password check box for every user in question on the Users tab > Settings tab (Create a new user).
   Login only from these IP addresses	If this check box is selected, all users must log in from the specified IP address range. Note: If Inxmail Professional administrators inadvertently lock themselves out due to a too restrictive IP address range, this can only be corrected using the administration web page on the Inxmail Server.

3. Use the relevant fields in the What needs to be logged? section to define which events are logged (on the Users agent > Logs tab):
