PlusMail Web Control
Return to
Main Index
Our innovative PlusMail Web Control panel allows you to control
your web presence from a web browser. This virtually eliminates the
need for Novice Users to learn and use FTP and Telnet. The more familiar
interface of the web browser, combined with point and click simplicity,
makes the PlusMail Web Control panel an extremely user-friendly web management
system.
The PlusMail Web Control panel is included in all accounts.
Your PlusMail Web Control panel will be personalized for you with your
domain name and weekly website traffic stats. To access the one on your
domain go to:
http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/plusmail
NOTE: Due to the unique security requirement of
the administration system you must have you browser set to allow cookies.
This, in conjunction with a number of hidden verification systems assures
you are the only user allowed to access these features on your domain.

Email Redirects
Email Redirects are used to redirect email from one address
to another. For example, you might have sales@yourdomain.com automatically
redirected to your sales person’s personal email address, and support@yourdomain.com
redirected to your support person’s personal email address, and so on.
You may also have redirects set up to send email to more than one address.
For example, you may have all email addressed to support@yourdomain.com
redirected to all of the members of your support staff.
You may have as many redirects as you like, and with PlusMail,
setting them up is as simple as filling in the blanks. Once you've logged
into your PlusMail Web Control, select the Email Redirects button
from the panel menu.
-
Address: Enter the name or title portion of the address
only. For example, sales or info
-
Forward To: Enter the FULL valid email address
that you want the email forwarded to. For example, joe@elsewhere.com
(Type carefully. If you make an error the email will be forwarded
to an incorrect email address)
-
Also Forward To: If applicable, enter the FULL
valid email address of others you want this email to go to. For example,
jack@overthere.com
-
Edit: To edit your existing redirects, simply
change the information in the entry fields.
-
Add/Edit Redirects: You MUST click this button
to Save your changes.
Things to know:
-
If you remove the default email address, email will only
be redirected to the specific aliases listed. For example, if an
email is sent to help@yourdomain.com and you have not listed "help" as
an alias, the email will not be redirected. You will then need to log into
your domain POP account to retrieve it.
-
If you prefer to log directly into your domain POP account
to retrieve email and do not wish to have any redirected, then simply remove
the default email address.

to email sent to a specified address in your domain. For example, you might
indicate on your web page that a visitor should write to prices@yourdomain.com
for a current price list. Then set up an autoresponder with a message listing
your prices. When an email is sent to prices@yourdomain.com, the price
list is sent in response automatically.
You may have as many autoresponders as you like. To set
them up with your PlusMail Web Control select the Simple Autoresponders
button
from the panel menu.

this. Enter only the name or title, such as prices or info.

message here.

you give the list itself. Enter only the name or title, such as join
