Title: Single Mailbox to Multiple Mailboxes
Post by: Peter B on October 25, 2001, 12:31:54 PM

Can e-smith retreive from an ordinary mail box (NOT a DOMAIN MAILBOX) and deliver to multiple local mail boxes.

If so what would be the address layout e.g. for mail box on isp p.bouhalis@hitechnology being the main account, if you wanted to send an email to a local account called fred would the email address for fred be

fred-p.bouhalis@hitechnology.com.au

Thanks

Your ISP's mail server will very likely reject and bounce all such mails unless you have some sort of arrangement with them.

This may sound weird but with a pop3 account you might try testing your account with:

fred will be inserted in to: in the outgoing mail.

For the sake of ease you should register a .com or a .com.au domain name or even a sub-somain name from the ISP and then get the ISP to forward all emails to a specific mailbox. You then get E-Smith to download them by either using multi-drop or ERTN, which ever one of these your ISP supports. By getting a domain name though it personalises the company and I think looks a bit more professional and is not really very expensive.

I assume that you are just using a standard modem dial-up account and not a semi-permanent or permanent account. If using a permanent or semi-permanent account you can just leave the email setting to standard.
