How do I set up iMailer in a multi-user solution?
Our installers have been built to handle several different deployment scenarios. See the “INSTALL NOTES” document included with our installers, for more information. For a typical multi-user FileMaker database that is shared by several users over a local network, you will add one copy of our “iMailer” file to the same folder where your other FileMaker files reside. For best results and performance, you should be hosting your FileMaker files on a dedicated machine running only FileMaker Server. Otherwise, you can use FileMaker Pro to host and share your files under Peer-to-Peer networking mode. In either case, a single copy of the “iMailer” file is added to your list of actively hosted FileMaker files. For shared multi-user setups, only a single copy of the “iMailer” file is to be activated and in use on your network; you will not install or setup duplicate copies of the “iMailer” file on the guest workstations, as this will create a problem with FileMaker and the way it handles paths t
