Whatever you are logged in as is what the sender will be.  You can put in a different REPLY TO if you like from the compose area but that's about it.

It would be a breach of the security of this system to allow it any other way.  If you want to send from a different email address on the server you will need to log in as that address.

Imagine if you had larry, moe, and curly on the same domain each with their own POP account.  Larry could now impersonate Moe and send email to Moe's wife saying he wanted a divorce on their anniversary date and cause all kinds of problems for Moe, which would then leave Curly there to have to settle the storm :þ  To prevent Moe from a divorce... you must be logged in as Moe to send mail from Moe's POP account

Oh, thats no problem, cuz I'm not married yet

Well I have to admit that you have a point there, Deb. But this wasn't quite what I meant. I'm actually using the account I'm logged into: "Hakan". The only difference is that I wan't to send a mail with "ahlbergs.net" as the domain. So the "user" part is fixed but the domainpart is changeable. And if I as Larry set up a POP "moe" in my domain I still wouldn't be able to send a mail to moe's wife as moe@hisdomain.com cuz your server would answer:
"Hey, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts" isn't this right? Both Larry, Moe, Curly and Hakan would then live happily ever after

You would need to sign on using the username and domain name you want the sender to be.  If you want it to be from webbolaget.com then you will need to sign on using that hostname... if you want it to be from ahlbergs.net then you will need to login with that one.

I understand that the IRMs are the 'same email address' but those are special cases... according to QuestMail they are different and treated as such ...

Cool.

I note that rich text emails arrive as an attachment.

How does the spam detector work?

Could you somehow script into the background the "xdom-" part of a username, so that the user could just enter their name and use that?  None of my users is even aware that they are really "xdom-joeblow", if you know what I mean.

On the Options setup, what are QuestMail files for?  Something you upload to the server to send over and over?

Thanks,
 Tom

The spam protection checks the MAPS list http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ and if the sender is on this list it will not receive the email.

The QuestMail files allow you to store various small files on the server itself.  Examples would include:

1. If you were in the middle of writing an email and needed to postpone it.. the postponed message would be stored in the QuestFiles area.

2. If you wanted to carry a text file around with you via QuestMail you can upload that text file to QuestMail and retrieve it from the QuestMail files section

Great service and product!

Only a few observations..
I couldn't get the FOLDER to work correctly, I created a folder named "keep", but couldn't move any messages from my inbox into it. After I select the message, and then change the folder to "keep", am I supposed to push a button to move it.

It would be a nicety to have a button using javascript that would automatically select all the messages, or unselect them, something like:

Code Sample:

Button code:
onClick="SelectUnSelectAll( true, self.document.FQ_form, 'd')">



And the function would look something like:

Code Sample:

function SelectUnSelectAll( flag, my_form, field_name)
{
        len     =       my_form.elements.length;
        var     index   =       0;
        for( index=0; index < len; index++ )
        {
                if( my_form.elements[index].name == field_name )
                {
                        my_form.elements[index].checked=flag;
                }
        }
}




I think that would work with just some minor modifications. Use the SelectUnselectAll sending a true or false, if the all the check boxes should be selected.

Just my opinions. I think its great.... thanks

Looks like the &quot;Change to folder&quot; link only works on the Top banner, not the bottom. In my opinion, I'd just like to see the Change to folder on the top.

I sent some mail to a friend that is using outlook express, and she said that when she opened my message (she wanted to know what xsneakydave was too) that outlook crashed on her.
I didn't have any attachments in it.

Any ideas what is causing that?

Also, it seems that I can't delete any messages. They don't go anywhere...

Can the sender if the message have the &quot;xdom-&quot; removed from it?

Just more opinions and suggestions.

Sneaky

Thanks for the reply, Deb.

how about a work-around for the &quot;xdom&quot; requirement? <s>
