User's Manual
The Internet Access Server allows many users to share the E-Mail Account(s) provided by
your ISP. Up to 4 E-Mail accounts and 50 users are supported.
For each user, the E-mail address is formed by combining the "User id" and the
"Account name", as shown below. Note that the quotes (" ") and braces
( < > ) ARE included in the E-mail
address.
"user_name"<mail_account@mail_address>
e.g.
"jim"<sales@company.com>
To use this feature:
