A: No. We do not actively offer SMTP service from our servers.
We suggest sending all outgoing mail from your ISP's SMTP server. If you do not know what it is, contact your ISP's support department.
A: There are a few things that can cause this error. The first is that you do not have the Outgoing Mail server authorization check marked in your account email settings
The 2nd is, if you are a new customer and you have never used an outside SMTP server before, it may be that your ISP has blocked access to outside SMTP servers, therefore requiring you to use theirs. Many free ISPs such as Juno, and Netzero do this.
A: Remember, we do NOT actively offer SMTP service. Some ISP's do not allow their customers access to outside SMTP servers. For example, earthlink, netzero, juno along with many of the free internet access providers do not allow use of outside SMTP servers.
If you continue to have problems, here are a few suggestions
1. Using Outlook (Express) checkmark the box that says \"Login to Outgoing Mail Server\"
Go to Tools
Go to Accounts
Double click on your account
Go to Servers
Under Outgoing Mail Server make sure the following is check marked
My server requires authorization
2. Use your ISP\'s SMTP server

To setup a mailing list, follow these instructions
1. Select ADD LIST
2. INPUT LIST NAME / PASSWORD
3. CLICK CREATE
4. Your instructions will be sent to your DEFAULT EMAIL ADDRESS....If you have not set this up yet (In your Mail Manager) all email is directed to the site admin login which is found in your confirmation email.
If you did change your default email to another email, check your email now, it should be in your inbox.
4A. You did not change your default catch all, then the easiest thing to do is just click on WebMail though your control panel, enter your login information, when you first login you will be prompted for your default settings
5. Once you login and check your email, you should see an email with the subject
"Your new mailing list: listhere_yourdomain.com"
Just click on it and read further instructions.
A: SpamAssassin is a mail filter to identify spam
To start off, SpamAssassin does not block incoming email to your in box, it only "tags" emails that it things is spam. Using its rule base [ http://spamassassin.taint.org/tests.html ] , it uses a wide range of heuristic tests on mail headers and body text to identify "spam", also known as unsolicited commercial email.
The spam-identification tactics used include:
Header analysis: spammers use a number of tricks to mask their identities, fool you into thinking they've sent a valid mail, or fool you into thinking you must have subscribed at some stage. SpamAssassin tries to spot these.
Text analysis: again, spam mails often have a characteristic style (to put it politely), and some characteristic disclaimers and CYA text. SpamAssassin can spot these, too.
Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later filtering using the user's own mail user-agent application or our mail filter feature
Heres what a "tagged" email will look like with SpamAssassin Enabled

A: You can now change your MX (Mail Exchanger) record automatically by logging into your control panel, go to the Mail Manager area and select either the primary domain or sub domain you would like to change to
For Example, if you wanted yourdomain.com's email to be handled by Everyone.NET, you would select your primary domain from the drop down and type: sitemail.everyone.net
This is all that has to be done to change your MX record.
To change your mx back to us, just set it to yourdomain.com
Remember: before you change the MX record on your domain, be sure to confirm with the mail exchange provider that they have a MX record setup on their servers. Failure to do this will result in any emails @yourdomain.com to be bounced back to the sender.
