Blue Mail server 2: Setup email users and aliases
Create new email address in your domain
- Open browser at: https://mailboxes.blue.net.au:10000 and enter your WEBMIN username and password
- Click on “Edit Mail and FTP Users”
(Note: Even though the link says FTP users this server has no FTP capabilities) - Click on “Add user to this server”
- Fill in the required details and click the “Create” button:
- Advise the user of their username and password.
- This username (= email address) and password can be either used in our webmail interface – http://webmail.blue.net.au – or in your own email program with POP3, SMTP and IMAP (please refer to your instructions for your specific email program to set this up).
- The incoming mail server is always pop3.blue.net.au and the outgoing mail server is always smtp.blue.net.au. You need to authenticate to our outgoing email server, if you are not using a Blue Net internet connection. See also: General settings for Blue Net services
- Advise the user of their username and password.
Setup an email alias in your domain
An email alias is a secondary email address for your mailbox. The mailbox can either be here on our server or it can be any other valid email address.
- Once logged in (as described above) go to “Edit Email Aliases”
- Click on “Add an alias to this domain”
- Fill in the details as required and click on the “Create” button.
(Note: the other options available here should be self explanatory) - After you performed the action in this example email addressed to example2@example.com will be delivered to example@example.com. The user example@example.com does not need to set up anything.
