We do not have or use outgoing SMTP servers. Why? Because
spammers relay through servers and send out millions of e-mails.
Spamming is STRICTLY prohibited on American CyberSpace servers.
By running closed servers it is a lesser chance of the servers
getting knock down from spamming. Also, since you must have
a dial up to access the server anyway, you can utilize this
account for your outgoing mail, by this, the servers run better
and faster without the SMTP servers open. 90% of the hosts out
there use this system, the ones who do not, charge you for it.
NOTE: For all email clients, you must use YOUR dial-up SMTP information,
where you are asked for your outgoing SMTP account. You should
obtain this information from your dial-up Internet Service Provider
(ISP).
It is a simple process to set up your accounts to send e-mails.
We've included instructions for the four most popular email
clients below.

MS Outlook Express:
1) From the Tools menu, choose Accounts.
2) To the right, click the [Add] button and choose Mail.
3) For Display Name, enter the name you wish to use when sending
e-mails; click [Next].
4) For Internet E-mail Address, enter the e-mail address you
want people to reply to e.g. webmaster@megalojas.com. Make
sure that this e-mail box has been setup in your control
panel; click [Next].
5) For E-mail Server Names, the default setting should be
POP3 which is OK.
--The next field asks for Incoming Mail (POP3) Server. You
can enter either your domain name (www.domain.com) or your
IP address.
--The next field asks for Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server. You
must enter your Internet Service Provider's (ISP) SMTP mail
server address here. Your ISP should have furnished you with
this information when you signed up with them. E.g. if your
ISP is Earthlink, your SMTP Server address would be mail.earthlink.net;
click [Next]
6) For Account Name, enter the mailbox name you setup for
this e-mail box. If you setup a "webmaster" e-mail
box then simply enter "webmaster" here.
--In the next field, enter the password you setup for this
mailbox. Check the "Remember Password" checkbox
if you don't want to enter your password every time you check
your mail.
All done!
Eudora Lite Email Settings:
This is a mail program that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh
OS. Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh
TCP/IP. Mail may be composed and read off line, but make sure
that Winsock or TCP/IP is running before attempting to send
or receive email. Although your account exists on our server,
you won't be able to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com
until your domain name becomes live on the WWW.
After Eudora has been installed, it must be configured to point
to your server. To do this, start Eudora and select "Settings"
from the menu bar. Most of the options are self explanatory.
Here are the steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:
1) Install and start up the Eudora program
2) Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu
3) Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name, enter
your Real Name.
4) Under "POP Account" put your dial-up email address.
5) Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send
return email to you at a different email account. You can use
one of your domain addresses in this area if you wish.
6) If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP
connection should be highlighted.
7) Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the Macintosh
version).
8) Under POP account put your dial-up email address again.
9) Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address" as you did
before
10) Under "Dial up User Name" enter your username, this is the
username you use with your dial-up account.
11) Click the "Hosts" tab then enter your Internet dial-up account
information. This generally looks something like mail.earthlink.net
(check with your Internet Service Provider for the correct Outgoing
SMTP information).
12) Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save Password"
is checked.
That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs. Many
of the configuration areas will be filled in when you go to
them, for instance it will usually fill in the POP account info
where ever it needs it after you enter it the first time. Now,
when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will
pop up asking for your password. Enter in your password then
click on the proceed button and Eudora will check to see if
you have email. You can now send a test email message to yourself
and then check to see if it gets returned to you. If you checked
"Save Password" as in step 12, Eudora will not prompt you again
for your password after the first time. If multiple users have
access to your computer, and you don't want them to have access
to your email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked.
Once you have completed the above steps, you can now send email
from your email client. The next step would be to create multiple
accounts using your email accounts that you have created with
your domain. When setting up additional accounts, you must always
use your dial-up account for your outgoing email and using the
return email address for your domain mail account. Your domain
account would be your incoming SMTP and this would look something
like this: (depending on what email accounts you have created)
anything@yourdomain.com and then you would enter your username
and password that you have setup for that particular email address.
Your default email address is yourdomain@yourdomain.com, and
that's where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations
take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects mentioned
later).

Microsoft Internet Explorer Email Settings:
The following samples assumes that your ISP is Earthlink and
your username is fred.
Full name = Fred
Email = Fred@earthlink.net
Internet Mail server = mail.earthlink.net (obtain this information
from your dial-up ISP)
Account = Fred (dial-up username)
Pass = xxxxxx (dial-up password)
SMTP = mail.earthlink.net
From = anything@fred.com (this can be set to any email account
you have setup for your domain.
Back to the top
Netscape Email Settings:
Your Name = Fred
Email Address = Fred@earthlink.net (your dial-up email address)
Reply to = anything@fred.com (this can be your email address
for your domain)
Mail Server username = Fred
Outgoing SMTP = mail.earthlink.net
Incoming SMTP= anything@fred.com (this can be any email address
you have setup for your domain)
To check numerous POP accounts, read the manual or help files
that come with your email client software for configuration.
If you are familiar with the shell (UNIX) programs, "pine" and
"mail", you can use either of these to check and send email
as well.

Microsoft Outlook Email Settings:
1. After loading Outlook, choose Tools--> Services.
2. Click add, and choose Internet E-Mail. Click OK.
3. In the General tab of the email Properties dialog box, fill
in your personal information.
4. Click on the Servers tab, and fill in the server information.
The Outgoing Mail (SMTP) should be your ISP (dial-up account)
i.e. mail.earthlink.net (check with your ISP for this information).
The incoming mail server should be your domain information:yourdomain.com.
Put in your mailbox username in the account name field, and
the password below. Click OK.
5. Your new settings will not take effect until you choose Exit
and Log off on the File menu, and then restart Microsoft Outlook.
AOL Users:
Since AOL does not facilitate access to external mail via
the Internet standard POP3 protocol, we advise AOL users to
either:
1) Access your email using Web
Mail. This web-based e-mail utility will enable you to
check your email account and send e-mail through our servers
via a user friendly interface. For more details, please check
out this page.
2) Obtain a local dial-up provider for Internet access. If
you cannot find a local provider (or choose not to use one)
we recommend a national dial-provider such as Earthlink (www.earthlink.com).
