To create mail for a domain, log on to your control panel at https://www.maximumcontrol.net Modified: 08/06/2007 and go to DNS/Mail...Manage My Domains. Here, you can add the domain to our DNS and Views: 4,886 mail servers. Wait 15 minutes, then the web based interface for this domain should be available at the URL listed (it will say something like http://maxmail009.maximumasp.com:8383). Of course, mail will not be received at this address until the domain is actually transferred to our DNS servers. (NOTE, once your new domain is set up on our mail server, but not transferred yet, if you try to email it, from any other domain on our network, it will resolve to our mail server here, not your old mail server) Administration Overview, where to log in?
When you add a domain to our mail servers (using your control panel), the control panel will tell you where to log in to set up mail. It will be something like http://maxmail00X.maximumasp.com (a link will also be listed next to the domain in your customer control panel). After your domain is resolving here, then you can use http://mail.yourdomain.com. Keep in mind that we constantly add new mail servers, so when you sign up, your mail may go on maxmail006.maximumasp.com, but 6 months later, when you add more domains using your control panel, mail may be on maxmail009.maximumasp.com, the control panel will tell you where to log in when you add the domain. Once you add the domain, you will log in to that domain as "admin@thatdomain.com" with password "admin". Please change the admin password the first time you log in. When you are logged in as the administrator, you can manage users, set up aliases, and create mail rules. Manage users: Log on as the admin, expand Domains, then the domain name. You will see options for accounts, aliases and distribution lists in your treeview. Highlight the root accounts menu. On the right hand side you will see a list of all accounts for the domain displayed as well as options to add and delete accounts as necessary. Step by step instructions for configuring users, aliases, and Distribution lists can be found in the following KB's:

If you have changed and forgotten your password for the admin user, then you can reset it back to the default in the customer control panel, under DNS/Mail...Manage My Domains
Checking mail using the web based interface: Log on to http://maxmail00X.maximumasp.com:8383 (replace the X with the link you received in the control panel, or welcome letter) or, http://mail.yourdomain.com:8383 . Use "username@yourdomain.com" (Yes, use the complete email address), and the password (case SeNSitIvE).

Once logged in, you can read your email, or send, etc...

Check your mail program's help files for help with Netscape, or Eudora, but these are similar.
Mail not working? Here's how you can troubleshoot: If you can not connect, send, or receive, then try to connect to the web based interface. If you can log in to the web based interface, this proves that your email address is properly set up on the mail server.
Can't connect at all? Maybe "mail.yourdomain.com" is not resolving here yet. Try using maxmail00X.maximumasp.com for your incoming and outgoing mail servers until your domain transfers.
Prompts for password when trying to connect? You are typing your

password wrong, or, you forgot to add the @yourdomain.com by your account name.
Can't send? Turn on SMTP authentication.
Can't receive? If your domain is not resolving here yet, you will not be able to receive mail.
Restrictions: See the following KB article for mailbox limitations: Your web site claims I have unlimited email addresses.
Sending mass email: We do not allow you to use our mail servers to send mass mailings, or newsletters. This is for performance reasons. If you need to send up to 1000 emails, please use ASPemail, cdonts, or similar to send these emails from your web server. You can even find sample code here: http://help.maximumasp.com/SmarterTicket/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=80 If you need to send more than this, you will need to use SMTP on your local server, or find another service to send the emails for you. See this KB article for more information on sending mass emails: http://help.maximumasp.com/SmarterTicket/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=65
