Mail forwarding and aliasing

You have several mail forwarders available, the exact number depends on your account. Mail forwarding enables you to have email addressed to specific people at your domain to be forwarded to another email address elsewhere, or to a POP/IMAP account you have created. (Examples: joe@yourdomain.com forwards to joe@someisp.com, sales@yourdomain.com forwards to your sales POP account)

By default, ALL mail to your domain is set up to automatically forward to the e-mail address that you supplied when you purchased your account. This e-mail address is called the "default" address. Any mail sent to your domain that does not fit any of the additional forwarding options you have set up will be sent to this address.

Example: You have setup info@yourdomain.com, and someone sends email to sales@yourdomain.com, the sales email will be sent to the "default" address since sales was not explicitly setup.

POP/IMAP Mailboxes

A POP or IMAP mailbox allows you to retrieve email sent to it by accessing it through POP or IMAP aware mailers. (Such as Eudora, Netscape Mail, or Internet Mail) If you do not have an email account with another provider, or wish to seperate emails to different accounts (such as a sales account, and a personal account) then the POP/IMAP feature is for you. You can point any email address from your domain to one of these mailboxes.

E-MAIL AUTORESPONDERS

Auto-responders are e-mail addresses that automatically send a text document as a reply. You may find this useful if you get many requests for the same information. For instance, if many people request your catalog be sent to them via e-mail, you can set up an auto-respoder named catalog@yourdomain.com, which would send the file catalog.txt to anyone that sends mail to it.
