We do not have or use smtp servers. Why? Because spammers relay through servers and send out millions of emails. Spamming is STRICTLY prohibited on EbuyMe servers. By running closed servers it is a lesser chance of the servers getting knock down from spamming. Also since you must have a dial up to access the server anyway, you can utilize this account for your outgoing mail, by this, the servers run better and faster without the smtp servers open. 90% of the hosts out there use this system, the ones who do not, charge you for it.

It is a simple process to set up your accounts to send emails. We've included instructions for the four most popular email clients below. If for some reason you feel you must have a smtp server call us and we can help you. But it will add $10.00 to the account plan you are on per month.

Eudora Lite
Microsoft Explorer
Netscape
Microsoft Outlook


EUDORA LITE MAIL SETTINGS:

This is a mail program that runs under MS Windows and Macintosh OS. Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock or Macintosh TCP/IP. Mail may be composed and read off line, but make sure that Winsock or TCP/IP is running before attempting to send or receive email. Although your account exists on our server, you won't be able to receive email at yourname@yourdomain.com until InterNIC has activated you in the domain name servers.

After Eudora has been installed, it must be configured to point to your server. To do this, start Eudora and select "Settings" from the menu bar. Most of the options are self explanatory. Here are the steps you need to perform to set up Eudora:

1) Install and start up the Eudora program
2) Select "Settings" from the "Special" menu
3) Select the "Getting Started" tab, then under Real Name, enter your Real Name
4) Under "POP Account" put yourdomain@yourdomain.com
5) Leave Return Address blank unless you want people to send return email to you at a different email account
6) If you use the Macintosh version, the radio button for TCP/IP connection should be highlighted
7) Click the "Personal Information" tab (also only for the Macintosh version)
8) Under POP account put yourdomain@yourdomain.com again
9) Fill out the "Real Name" and "Return Address" as you did before
10) Under "Dial up User Name" enter yourdomain (do not enter .com or .net here)
11) Click the "Hosts" tab then enter yourdomain@yourdomain.com again under POP Account, and put yourdomain.com under SMTP Server.
12) Go to the "Checking Mail" tab and make sure "Save Password" is checked.

That's pretty much all the configuration Eudora needs. Many of the configuration areas will be filled in when you go to them, for instance it will usually fill in the POP account info where ever it needs it after you enter it the first time. Now, when you select "Check Mail" under the File menu, a window will pop up asking for your password. Enter in your password then click on the proceed button and Eudora will check to see if you have email. You can now send a test email message to yourself and then check to see if it gets returned to you. If you checked "Save Password" as in step 12, Eudora will not prompt you again for your password after the first time. If multiple users have access to your computer, and you don't want them to have access to your email account, make sure "Save Password" is unchecked.

Your default email address is yourdomain@yourdomain.com, and that's where all your email will be sent to, unless other configurations take priority (such as autoresponders and redirects mentioned later).
