You have two choices: use our mail server, or run your own. If you are using our mail server you need to contact sales or technical support at Contact Us. Another alternative is to run your own mail server. Under UNIX you better off running SENDMAIL - a free and a pretty standard software which offers you a lot of options. You have SENDMAIL already installed at your computer (if we did the OS installation), so you only need to configure it. If you are not familiar with SENDMAIL configuration, we can do it for you on per-hour-payment basis. If you want to learn it go visit SENDMAIL official web site: www.sendmail.org. There is a good tutorial there. There is also a book on SENDMAIL see Recommended Books at the end of this FAQs. Another free SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) UNIX program is qmail. It is easier to use but it has less features. Visit www.qmail.org. To receive mail you usually use any daemon program based on pop3 protocol. In LINUX it is ipop3d and it comes with an installation. You do not need to configure pop3 programs. Under NT you can use a reliable but expensive program Post-Office (www.software.com). There is also SENDMAIL for NT. For sending mail only from FrontPage and ASP you can use Microsoft SMTP service (We install it as a part of Option Pack).
