To protect you from spam the default email
address (catchall) is set to bounce any
incorrectly addressed emails.
This means you MUST set up a Mail Box (POP3) or
a Mail Forwarder for your domain email address to
start working.
To set
up an individual mailbox in your Control Panel
You will first need to create the email box in
your Small Pond account using the web control
panel. Here’s how:
-
Start
by logging into the Small Pond Control Panel
at www.yourdomain.com/cpanel using your User
Name and Password.
-
Click
on Mail
-
Click
on Manage/Add/Remove Accounts
-
Click
on Add Account
-
Enter
Email address (yourname)@yourdomain.com
-
Now
enter the password for this e-mail account
into the Password fields. Good passwords
contain a combination of letters (both
lowercase and uppercase), punctuation, and
numbers and should be reasonably difficult
to guess.
-
Click
Create to set-up this e-mail account.

Use the
following details to setup an individual account
in your email program.
User : (yourname)@yourdomain.com
Password : The password you allocated for
this individual mailbox
Incoming mail server (POP3):
mail.yourdomain.com
(Please, replace yourdomain.com with your hosted
domain name).
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): (your
internet Service Provider ISP SMTP address)
Do not use the auto set up
within the control panel as this will
attempt to send mail through your web
server.
Australian Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
generally prohibit third party sending due
to spamming issues.
Please use your ISP
settings for your outgoing mail server. |
