8. For a local server, private queues are set up. Common queues can be created on remote computers using Active Directory - users and computers. For this, you need to have permissions of the domain administrator and to log in to the system as a user with administrative permissions. The Outgoing Queues and System Queues are created automatically.

To create a private queue, right-click on the Private Queues folder and select New - Private Queue.
