• Autodiscover uses DNS SRV lookup for _autodiscover._tcp.domain.com, if it exists, the "mail.domain.com" is returned.
where the email domain in _autodiscover._tcp.domain.com request is email domain name and the email domain name in mail.domain.com response is DNS name of the Kerio Connect server.

If you are a small company, you can put the XML configuration file on your web server, at URL http://example.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml. (This is not yet finalized and subject to change.)
