Abstract

According to the present invention, methods, apparatus, and computer readable medium are disclosed for automatically defining a mail domain in a directory server associated with a messaging server are disclosed. When an message having new domain name is received by the messaging server, a directory server creates a corresponding entry in a directory for every component included in the new domain name that does not already exist in the directory. A corresponding domain name service record is automatically updated in a domain name server associated with the directory server based upon the entry which is used to identify the new domain.
