Mail

Sending and receiving your society's email

• Log in with your username and password to Webmail
• Or log in via SSH or Telnet client and type 'pine' - more help is available within the email client itself
• Forward mail to the personal email accounts of one or more of your committee by creating a file called .forward (the dot at the front is important), and in it, putting the email addresses you want mail to go to
• Forward to multiple addresses by putting commas between them: a.student@stud.man.ac.uk, joe.bloggs@hotmail.com
• Configuring Webmail to permit 'From Addresses'
• Please remember to delete the forwarding before you leave the society
• If you have a domain hosted on Waldo, you are able to do things with all addresses in that domain. Here's how
• We also offer POP3 and IMAP support over SSL only.

Dealing with offensive email

• The best thing to do is delete it
• If you get it repeatedly, or it particularly upsets you, send a copy with all headers to root@umu.man.ac.uk and we'll look into it
• Don't send offensive mail from Waldo - there is a strict Acceptable Use Policy

Procmail

Procmail is installed for your use if you know what it is and wish to use it. You should set up a .forward file to send mail through procmail
