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.

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.

A subscribable maillist is one that people may join on their own, without
the need for you to manually enter their email address. Subscribable maillists are
generally focused on a particular topic of interest, such as programming, science fiction,

email to join your list. You need simply add a note to your webpage such as "to

itself. Enter only the name or title, such as join or info.
