Here is how you can configure your Kerio mailserver to accept domain literals:

1) Open up kadmin, go to Domains, select your domain, click 'edit'. In the 
aliases tab, add an entry for your public ip address. This entry field won't 
let you enter the square brackets; don't worry about this yet, just enter the 
ip address.

2) Close the kadmin screen and apply your changes.

3) Using your command shell, navigate to your Kerio Mailserver application 
directory. Default for Linux is /opt/kerio/mailserver - I'm not sure about 
Windows or Mac.

4) Edit the file named mailserver.cfg. Search for your ip address alias 
entry. Make sure you are editing an entry that looks similar to:

<listitem>
<variable name="Domain">216.139.37.140
<variable name="Type">2
<variable name="Alias">paulmcnett.com

Simply change the "Domain" entry to add the square brackets. For example:

<listitem>
<variable name="Domain">[216.139.37.140]
<variable name="Type">2
<variable name="Alias">paulmcnett.com

5) Save the cfg file.

6) Restart Kerio Mailserver.

I tested this with Kerio Mailserver 6.1.3, and it is working fine. Until 
Kerio adds this automatically, at least we have this workaround.
