The Mail area functions allow a user to configure many different aspects of their domain's email accounts. This includes creating and removing e-mail accounts, configuring forward rules, managing spam filters, etc.
NOTE: Not all functions will be available in all hosting packages.
- Email Accounts - here you are able to create e-mail accounts, define passwords and quotas for them. You can separately manage the e-mail accounts for a chosen domain.
- WebMail - here you can access the two web mail programs (Horde and Squirrelmail) included in cPanel. These programs will allow you to read your email through a browser window without having to make any changes to your local computer.
- BoxTrapper - Protect your inbox from spam by forcing all people not on
your white list to reply to a verification email before they can send
mail to you.
- SpamAssassin - is an automated email filtering system that attempts to identify spam messages based on the content of the email's headers and body.
- Forwarders - using e-mail forwarders will allow you to send copies of all your messages from one e-mail account to another. You can also send the messages from all the accounts with one domain to the corresponding ones with another domain.
- Auto Responder - setting auto responder emails
- Default Address - feature will "catch" any mail that is sent to an invalid email address for your domain.
- Mailing Lists - Can simplify sending messages to a large group of people.
You can add a group of email addresses to a mailing list to avoid
typing in those addresses each time a mailing is sent.
- User Level Filtering - here you can manage filters for each user. Each user filter is processed after the main account filters.
- Account Level Filtering - allows you to manage the filters for the main account. There you can also test the existing filters.
- Email Delivery Route - allows you to view how the mail server will treat a message when sending to or delivering to a specific address.
- MX Entry - This allows you to have the email from
one domain delivered to another domain. Changing your MX entry will
change your sites DNS record for MX.
- Email authentication - This aids in the effort to equip messages of the email
transport system with enough verifiable information, so that recipients
can recognize the nature of each incoming message automatically.
