E-mail forwarding is the most effective way to recieve email address sent to multiple addresses without creating multiple POP3 e-mail accounts. The most common redirects are webmaster@yourdomain.com,sales@yourdomain.com,support@yourdomain.com,                     info@yourdomain.com etc. You can use your control panel features to create redirect for these or other addresses and send all the mails to addresses delivered to POP3 accounts of your choice. This is an most easy way to send emails to several members of your company which avoids hassle of creating and monitoring multiple accounts in yur email client.

Autoresponders is a method of automatically replying to an email with information. Using autoresponder with a redirect would allow you to capture rmail adress of the person requesting information. You can also use CGI email form in combination with an auto responder and a redirect to capture more detailed information about the requestor.

E-mail forwarding and autoresponders can be of great help if configured correctly. However, a small mistake in configuration may result in problems affecting all mail delivery associated with your account. Read the manuals before using this features.

Configuration errors that encounter include:

a.Incorrect “default” redirect
The first entry in e-mail forward list should be “default” followed by the primary account login (e.g., yourdomain@yourdomain.com).

b. Incorrect naming
Redirects and autoresponders must not share the same name as a POP3 user or a maillist.

Everybody has an email but a personalized email which uses a domain name helps your business to grow and also becomes easy for the visitors of your site to contact you personally through the business which you are growing.

The email which is based on your domain name is always available. All the mails which are sent to your domain name email box are obtained through POP3. This is provided by the email program. All you need to do is enter your email address and then enter your password to receive your email.
The SMTP email is completely opposite to that of POP3 email. You will get your mails in a same way but is completely handled by your hosting company and sent to your email box. It’s better to have an email address which is based on your domain name so that it will be easy for site visitors to contact you in a much better way.

Hello Friends,

If you are getting following error with email while receiving emails

2007-01-03 14:14:33 1H2BZ9-0007EK-HY => supp0rt_test@yahoo.com R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp

H=d.mx.mail.yahoo.com [216.39.53.2]
2007-01-03 14:15:05 H=web32905.mail.mud.yahoo.com [209.191.69.82] F= rejected RCPT : web32905.mail.mud.yahoo.com [209.191.69.82] is currently not permitted to relay through this server. Perhaps you have not logged into the pop/imap server in the last 30 minutes or do not have SMTP Authentication turned on in your email client.
For the above error please check the entry of domain in /etc/localdomains of the server.

#grep domain.com /etc/localdomains

If the entry is missing then you get such an error. The domain must be in ‘/etc/localdomains’, once it has been placed there the error should disappear.

MIME is a short for Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions. MIME is an extension of the original Internet e-mail protocol that enables people use the protocol to send and receive graphics, audio, and video files via the Internet mail system as well as the ASCII text handled in the original protocol, i.e the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). In addition, MIME supports messages in character sets other than ASCII.

There are many predefined MIME types, such as GIF graphics files and PostScript files. It is also possible to define your own MIME types. In addition to e-mail applications, Web browsers also support various MIME types. This enables the browser to display or output files that are not in HTML format.

Servers insert the MIME header at the beginning of any Web transmission. Clients use this header to select an appropriate “player” application for the type of data the header indicates. Some of these players are built into the Web client or browser, for example, all browsers come with GIF and JPEG image players as well as the ability to handle HTML files, while other players may need to be downloaded.

MIME was defined in 1992 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). A new version, called S/MIME, supports encrypted messages.

ListServ is a type of an automated mailing list server which allows you to automatically subscribe to a mailing list and receive emails about specific topics. It was developed by Eric Thomas for BITNET in the year 1986.  When an email is addressed to a LISTSERV mailing list, it is automatically made public to everyone on the list. The result is similar to a newsgroup or forum, except that the messages are transmitted as e-mail and are therefore available only to individuals on the list. To subscribe to these groups, you typically send email to the Listserver and say something like “subscribe ….”  in the body or subject line of the message. A computer will interpret your email, and add you to the periodic mailing list.
