E-mail programs vary
in the way preferences and options are setup. Your POP3 account
is the account name you specify in your Mail Manager and your incoming
POP3 server is always yourdomain.com.
You can create, delete
and edit e-mail usernames and e-mail passwords at the Mail Manager
through your web browser at http://yourdomain.com/menu/.
Your e-mail User Name and Password are not necessarily the same
as your web hosting account.
You
can use our Web-Based
E-mail Program
or use a downloaded e-mail client to check e-mail (see screenshot
below). The web-based program is a simple sender/receiver
program, while the downloaded program is a more powerful solution.
E-Mail
Setup:
Incoming Mail (POP3):
yourdomain.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP): Same as the e-mail account with your ISP.
For example: if your provider is EarthLink, it will look like this:
mail.earthlink.net. This will not effect your mail address, just
the outgoing server it is sent through, no one can see the difference.
POP3
Account Username:
This will be the
e-mail account name (i.e. 'webmaster'
or 'support') you create
through your mail manager in your control panel, note this will
not always be the same as your control panel login and password,
this can be different and changed through the mail manager in seconds.
All
mail by default (any-address@yourdomain.com) will automatically
be forwarded to your main account. It's not necessary to create
separate mailboxes for different accounts unless they are assigned
to different people. Additional accounts can be created, edited,
deleted from the mail manager. You can also, setup different passwords
from your e-mail manager for each e-mail account.

The 'dist'
file is the distribution list -- the list of recipients. To add
a pre-existing list of recipients, copy it into the dist file:
/home/username/yourdomainname-mail/listname/dist
You can add a short list by hand or by cut-and-paste. For a really
long list, you may want to download the dist file, edit it using
a word processing program, save it as text or ASCII, and then upload
the edited file.
The following conditions apply:
1.
One subscriber per line.
2.
Empty lines are allowed.
3.
The mail address of the subscriber must be the first word on the
line.
4.
Comments may follow the address (but separated from the address
by at least one blank space. character).
5.
Everything preceding the line containing:
(Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed)
is write-protected from changes (i.e. these addresses can never
be automatically/accidentally un-subscribed).
6.
If the line:
"Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed"
is not present at all, automatic subscription removal to this
list are impossible.
7. New
subscribers will always appear on the line immediately following
the last filled entry in the distribution file.
Some
sample entries (the preferred format):
joe@some.where
joe@some.where (some comment)
joe@some.where (some comment) (some more comments)
Depreciated, but allowed:
<joe@some.where>
<joe@some.where> some comment
<joe@some.where> (some comment)
Not allowed:
(some comment) joe@some.where
some comment <joe@some.where>
Note: adding to the distribution file for a list automatically adds
to the accept file as well, unless you have turned off foreign submissions.
