Hi folks,
Could I ask for a little help please. I just received the email
attached below from my hosting provider. After reading the email I
thought I'd be able to configure The Bat! to suit, but after taking a
look at what I think is the right area I am not so sure!
Could someone who knows about such things please help me out by
explaining (or giving directions) how TB can address this?
TIA,
Allister.
