Email for your domain

You can configure the mail settings for domains hosted on your sphinx shell account using the email settings in the Shell Account Control Panel. The control panel allows you to create aliases within your domain. These aliases can either forward mail to another address, or place mail in a POP3 mailbox for downloading.

POP3 mailboxes

If you create POP3 mailboxes, you should also set the password for the mailboxes. Once created, you can also change the password for a POP3 mailbox here - you need only the mailbox password to do this.

The settings needed to receive mail from POP3 mailboxes, or to send email, are documented on the Mail Settings page.

Unknown aliases

The Email Control Panel allows you to control the behaviour for aliases within your domain that you have not defined. You can either forward them all to a particular address, or you can have them bounced as a non-existant address. If you choose the former, be prepared to receive some unsolicited email - it would appear that some spammers will send email to randomly generated addresses within registered domains.
