Control Panel Feature List
Mail Manager
E-mail control panel allows instant creation of e-mail POP3,
forwards, and aliases.
Add/Remove Accounts - This is
where you create POP3 or IMAP mailboxes for your domain. You can
have a mailbox for anyone@yourdomain.com
-
Default Email Address - This
feature is automatically configured when your account is set up. A
default email address is a catch-all address which will direct any
mail to your domain without a valid address to another mailbox. For
example, if someone sends an email to bob@yourdomain.com and you do
not have a mailbox for bob, then the message will go to the set
default mailbox.
AutoResponders - An
autoresponder is an automatic email generated to a sender when a
certain email address receives mail.
Filters - You can have the
server deny mail from anyone, or with any subject.
E-Mail Forwarders - A forward
account sends mail sent to user@domain.com to an address completely
out of your domain. For example if john had an AOl account and wanted
to check all his mail there you could setup john to forward to
john3435xs@aol.com. You may also set up a forwarder within your
domain. For example, if you want mail for bobsmith@yourdomain.com to
go to bob@yourdomain.com.
Mail Lists - Set up a list
to send emails to a large group of subscribers. This tool has many
configurations, from a newsletter or more. You can set who can
subscribe, and how... who can post to your list and more.

please make sure your list subscribers know they are going to get
emails from your list so they do not complain to us.
