Hi Todd,

1) Email Forwarding
----------------
Unfortunately as with any email system, in order to have a domain use email
on it's own it would need to be activated in some  type of email system, and
for ours it would require at least one pop box per domain in order to
function. Once a domain is activated for email, this could be accomplished
through email forwarding, which we plan to release in the June timeframe.
If the user did choose to purchase one pop box for every domain (Not
necessarily through us), they could POP them into one mail interface using
Remote POP, which is found under WebMail Options, Remote POP.  If all pop
boxes were purchased on our system, then they can accomplish this
additionally through the folder sharing option that is available.

2) From Address For WebMail
------------------------
The from address and the display name can be modified under WebMail
Options - General Settings - Message Creation Preferences - From Address.

You may change the display name to the sales@ reference you indicated, but
the headers would still come up as the pop box email address and any replies
would go to the pop box email address.

Another option is to change the from email address (Not the Display Name)
where you can insert the mailbox name you would like to indicate the email
came from.  The only complication is that this also serves as the Reply To
Address and if there are no catch-all or alias setting for that specific
reply to address then the mail will be lost. If the person who received the
message tries to reply to it, the Reply To Address must be either a) a valid
email address b) have an alias set-up to handle this mailbox name or c)
there must be a catch-all set for the domain.

Both of these settings will be applied to all mail sent from the mailbox.
So the mailbox user would be required to modify this From Address each time
they wished to address an email from a different person (e.g.,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] versus [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

>From and Reply To Address For Email Clients (E.G. Outlook)
-------------------------------------------
Within most email clients, you can identify a different From Address and
Reply To Address.  So for example, the From Address could be
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the Reply To Address could be [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Again
though, the Reply To Address must either be real, set as an alias or be
captured by a catch-all.

Let me know if you have anything further.

Thanks,

Subject: More questions about email


Howdy,

I have a number of customers who have multiple domains registered through
us.  They are interested in email accounts but don't really need (or
want) to purchase a POP box for each domain.  Say, Joe has 5 domains with
us and wants to be able to get mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
etc.  all from the same POP account.

Is there any way we could set this up?

Also, it doesn't look like there's any way to configure outgoing mail
from a alias identity in the webmail interface.  E.g., to send a reply to
a customer from a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" address instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"  Most 
webmail
interfaces have the ability to set multiple "From" addresses.  Could that
be implemented?

Thanks,
Todd
