Answers
  1. The basics and helpful hints
    1. Remember to always use "mail.yourdomain.com" as the incoming (pop3) and outgoing (SMTP) server in your local email client, such as Outlook Express.

    2.In the Cpanel mail control center, the forwarding function provides forwarding to addresses outside the current domain, and can be used to alias one account to another. Thus, if you want mike@homepage.net to head to a pop3 account of slim@aol.com, use a forward to make this happen.

    3. All POP email boxes except the default account use the full email address (user@domain.com) as the user name for logging in.

    4. Your "default address" is the root catch-all mailbox. It receives messages heading to all addresses which are not setup as unique POP accounts within your domain. Keep in mind that the default address account does not use the full email address format, like other POP accounts. The login for your default address is the same as the main FTP login for your account.

    5. If it seems that you cannot lock a pop3 account to retrieve messages for any reason, the quickest way to solve this for yourself is to delete and recreate the account with your control panel. This saves time as it bypasses asking our support staff for assistance. The changes you make to your email items with your control panel are done in real time.

  2. When I post to the mail list the mail is held for administrative approval because of "implicit destination". Why?
    In the web-based list administration interface, go to 'Privacy options' and 'Spam-specific posting filters' (mid-page). In the text box for "Alias names (regexps) which qualify as explicit to or cc destination names for this list", enter the email address of the list.
