Virtual Private Server E-mail

Your Virtual Private Server includes a powerful and flexible E-mail server based on sendmail, one of the most widely used E-mail servers available. In addition to being able to send and receive E-mail messages for any domain hosted on your Virtual Private Server, you can set up message forwarding, automatic responses, message filters, and mailing lists, as well as a number of other things.

Configuring your E-mail Server

Your Virtual Private Server's E-mail server uses the sendmail program to send and receive messages. You can also use procmail to help filter and route messages. Other programs you can add to your E-mail server can help prevent spam, manage mailing lists, and more.

• Preventing SPAM (unsolicited E-mail)
• SMTP AUTH - Controling SMTP Server access
• Configuring Sendmail - the M4 Macros
• Procmail - Mail Filtering Tools
• E-mail Mailing Lists
• E-mail Security - Encryption
• Exchange Server Configuration
• Managing your E-mail message queue

Configuring E-mail Accounts

Your E-mail server uses the standard virtual user accounts for sending and receiving messages. Each user can be set up with a number of tools to help route incoming messages for them.

• E-mail Automatic Responder
• E-mail Aliases
• virtmaps - E-mail for Virtual Sub-Hosts
