In WebHost4Life installations, you are required to create email accounts for each user that can be referenced by Qasper when sending emails through the Qasper email system.

I. Setting up email accounts using WH4L's email manager

Access your email manager using your domain name preceded with 'mail.', as in:

http://mail.mydomain.com

The Postmaster is an automatic email account set up by WebHost4Life. The login name is 'postmaster' and the password is the password used to open your Control Panel in WebHost4Life:

1. Log in:

2. When the main page displays, select [Settings]

3. Select Domain Settings > Users

4. Add users as needed (click [New] and complete Username, password and Display name) and save the settings.

Use your email address in your Home page setup, tab [EMail info]. Or you can use the Email Reply to feature explained below.

II. Setting up email account information in Qasper

1. Log in as administrator.

2. In the Admin module, tab [Settings], under Section 2 - Property settings, complete the various email parameters:

EMailPath: mail.yourdomain.com
EmailPort: 25
EMailSendusing: 2
EMailUseReplyTo: Y (See
How to Use your preferred Reply To name below) or N if you're OK with the email name provided through the set up in the WebHost4Life email manager
EMailUserName: postmaster@yourdomain.com
EMailPassword: {password for your email account}
EMailAuthenticate: 1

If you are using the EMailUseReplyTo feature, you can use the email address of your choice, provided you have set up an email address in the email manager above with the exact same name portion. More on this follows:

The EMailUseReplyTo feature - how to Use your preferred Reply To name

Assume that your email manager like above is mail.qasperartic.com and that you have set up an email account in that manager with the address jjohnson@qasperartic.com but you want people to reply to jjohnson@articdomains.com for emails sent out from Qasper.

1. Set up the user account in the email manager like we show above with that exact user name, like this: jjohnson, so that the name would be jjohnson@qasperartic.com.

2. In your Qasper Home page, tab [Email info], add the email address, jjohnson@articdomains.com. Note that the name portion must exactly match the name portion of user account in the email manager. IOW, they both must be "jjohnson", regardless of the domain portion.

3. When you send an email from Qasper, Qasper will send it out through the WebHost4Life email server shown above - in this example that's mail.qasperartic.com and the email address will be jjohnson@qasperartic.com but Qasper will add a Reply To field to the email with your preferred address of jjohnson@articdomains.com.   

4. When a recipient wants to reply to your email and clicks the "Reply" button on their email, it will use the jjohnson@qasperartic.com email address.
