Many e-mail clients available. Describing how each e-mail
client should be set up to receive e-mail is beyond the scope of this chapter.
Users need to set up the following components before they can receive e-mail
from the VPS v2 Virtual Server:
-
E-mail address: The e-mail address is the username you created
plus the domain name. For example:
bob@your_company.com
-
Incoming Mail Server: The incoming mail server is your VPS v2 Virtual Server's
domain name or IP address.
-
Outgoing Mail Server: Same as the incoming mail server.
-
Selection to authenticate and choose SMTP Authentication.
E-mail Client Configuration
Most current e-mail clients can specify that the outgoing
SMTP server require authentication. A user must select this option and specify his/her
VPS v2 Virtual Server username and password in the client settings or preferences.
Your users can use the following procedures to configure
their own e-mail client programs to receive e-mail received from the VPS v2 Virtual Server
e-mail server. These procedures may vary according to e-mail client versions.
