5. Configure
your "Outgoing Mail Server", settings that correspond to your domain
name, and as demonstrated in the following example. Click
"OK" when finished.
That's pretty well it!
Close your account settings and test out your new address by sending
a message to it. If you're able to send a message, and receive that
same message in your new account, then congratulations! - you've
successfully setup your first email account on our servers.
Potential problems with sending mail:
Due the the mass amount of abuse from a few problem souls, an
increasing number of ISP's are disabling ability to "send mail"
through someone else's SMTP server. If you receive an
error message when attempting to use our "Outgoing SMTP"
server, it probably means your ISP has denied access to (what is
otherwise known) as 'third party relaying." To solve this problem,
simply go back to your account properties, and select the "server
settings" tab. Now, there are two things you must do:
1.
Change the "SMTP Outgoing Mail Server"
settings to the same ones as you're using on your ISP's email
account. This information should be included with the setup
instructions of your Internet account. If not, contact your ISP for
their "Outgoing SMTP Mail Settings."
2.
Once you've added your ISP's SMTP settings, remove the
information in the
"Outgoing Mail Server User Name" and leave it blank.
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING
ELSE! You can now receive mail from your domain account, while
sending mail will be accomplished through your ISP's SMTP servers.
This will in no way effect the performance or look of your email
messages coming from your domain.
Note: PLEASE… DO NOT send large volumes of
mailings through our SMTP Relay server. It's really provided as a
courtesy to our users, and not something to be used for mass
mailing list purposes. If you're sending large emails, or are
running a mailing list, PLEASE use your ISP's mail server for this
purpose. They are better setup for this sort of heavy duty usage,
and you won't clog our SMTP server, which also needs to provide
resources to other users.
