PlusMail Web Control
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.
