What Email facilities do you provide?

The email service provided by kudos.net.nz is the Hosted Email product from OpenSRS. This product is 100% compliant with Internet electronic mail standards. It implements the SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 RFC specifications.

Each mailbox can be configured to forward mail to another address or to automatically respond to incoming mail with a pre-defined message. With any POP3 or IMAP4 email client, users can download their incoming mail from their mailbox on our servers.

All accounts are provided with an industry standard automatic client configuration facility. This allows most modern email clients to self-configure.

You can create an email service for each domain name configured for your account on our servers. Where you have multiple domains on our server you may either create a unique email service for each domain or you may define domain names as aliases for other email services you have established.

Postboxes need to be added for an account, mail will be sorted on our servers prior to delivery. If an email arrives for an address without a postbox it will be rejected.

The product includes the ability to view and send emails, as well as changing configuration settings for your postbox, from the Internet.
