Email Questions

How come I can't send mail?
First, your domain name must be propagated. Then use "mail.yourdomain.com" for the SMTP server in your Email client configuration. Cybersolution.biz uses SMTP Authentication. This means you MUST configure your email client to authenticate with your username and password, much like when you check mail.

For information on how to do this see:
Setting up Outlook Express
Setting up Netscape Mail

How do I create additional POP accounts and Email forwarding?
This can be done in your control panel. Once you login, click on "Email -> Add/Remove POPs" and follow the simple procedures. You have the ability to create, edit, and/or delete your own email accounts.

I have a mailing list, how many emails can I send out?
You can send out up to 1000 emails within a 24 hours period. We find it necessary to implement this limit to enhance the overall performance of our mail server.

How do I check my email through eudora or netscape mail?
Make sure you are using an account that you created through your mail manager section of your control panel, not the default name for the account.

Make sure your email program is setup as follows:

Server: mail.yourdomain.com
Login: account%yourdomain.com
Pass: password

Please visit this page for instructions on setting up your mail account with Netscape Mail.

(Remember: Use '%' instead of '@')
Example:
test@yourdomain.com <- incorrect
test%yourdomain.com <- CORRECT
(The '%' syntax only applies to Netscape/Eudora)

You offer unlimited E-mail aliases, what does that mean?
Unlimited E-mail aliases means that you can use anything@yourdomain.com as your email address. For example, you may want to use a few different email links on your site such as ...

support@yourdomain.com
info@yourdomain.com
webmaster@yourdomain.com

You do not need to do anything to get anything@yourdomain.com to forward to your primary POP account.. We set this up as a default when your account was setup.

What is the difference between POP3 and Forwarding?
POP3 is where you store your e-mail on our mail server. You then configure your mail client (for example - Internet Explorer, Netscape, Eudora) to read your mail directly from our mail server.

Forwarding is when our mail server forwards e-mail to your local ISP or e-mail address instead of storing it. When we set up your account, all of your e-mail is forwarded to the e-mail address you supplied to us.

Is my Email setup?
Your master mail account is automatically setup. Your username, password, and mail server configurations are in the "Account Setup" letter sent to you when your account was setup.

Why do I get a "Relaying Denied: Authenticate with POP first" error when trying to send email through the server?
You need to login to your pop account and check your mail first. The server has anti-spam software installed that won't allow anyone to use the smtp server until they have logged in first. This keeps just anyone from connecting to the server and sending out thousands of messages. You may need to wait 20-30 seconds before trying to send mail again for the server process to recognize you after you check your mail. Once you have logged into the pop server and have been authenticated, you will be allowed to send mail for 30 minutes without having to login again. If you do login again, your 30 minutes will start from the time you logged in last.

How do I check my Emails?
You can use any email clients (ie. Outlook, Eudora etc..) or our Web Based Mail.

I still can't send email. What's wrong?
Our SMTP servers are configured as secure relays. This means that you cannot simply reference "mail.yourdomain.com" as an Outgoing mailserver unless you successfully log in via one of your pop3 accounts at "mail.yourdomain.com' before you try to send. This is a mandatory setting to prevent spammers from using our mailservers as havens for unsolicited email. If you are getting a "relaying prohibited" or "disconnected by administrator" error, it means that you haven't logged into the pop3 server at your domain before you tried to send through the smtp server at your domain. To log in, you need to check for mail first.

In addition to this, you might not be able to send regardless of if you check mail successfully. Some ISPs have it set so that their users cannot use an outbound SMTP server to relay messages. If you are still experiencing problems sending through your domain, and are certain that you have logged in via pop3 to an account at your domain, you might want to contact your local ISP to see if they do allow their users to use outbound smtp servers. Several large ISP's are in the process of blocking all access to port 25 (the SMTP port). A few hosts that are currently doing this are:
Earthlink
UUNet
Prodigy
(There are probably others, these are just the ones we are aware of)
They do this so that you will be forced to use their outgoing SMTP servers. Instead of using mail.yourdomain.com as your outgoing mail server, you should use the SMTP servers that your ISP provides you with. Or you can always use PORT 26 in your email software.

Can I change my own MX Records?
