Mail User Import TutorialIf you have a rather long list of users that you would rather not enter one at a time in the email control panel you can choose to import the list into the mail server. This is done by building the list and then sending this list to support so that we can perform the import. |

| Building the List | |

The first step in this process is the construction of the mail user list file. The mail list file can
contain multiple domains and can contain new users and new aliases. The file must contain both directives
and data as defined below: Directives are lines that tell the import program what to do with the data that follows, the three directives are: "#DOMAIN:domain_name", "#USERS", "#ALIASES". The "DOMAIN" directive tells the loader which domain to place the accounts in. The "USER" directive tells the loader that the data below are user accounts. The "ALIASES" directive tells the loader that the data below are aliases. All accounts whether they are aliases or users are represented on one line per account. Each line will contain fields that are delimited by commas. User fields are User Id, Password, and Full Name in that order. Alias fields are Alias Name, and Forwarding Account in that order. Example File:
#DOMAIN:chambergates.com
#users
#aliases | |

After you have completed your list you will need to send the list to our
support department. By default all user accounts
that we create will have web access and the ability to change their own passwords. If you
would like to change the defaults please inform us of this in your initial request. You are allowed one free import for each web package that you purchase from us. For these purposes an import is considered to be one import file regardless of the number of domains that are actually in the file. If you have five web plans with us then you are allowed up to five imports at no cost to you. If you need any additional imports then these will be charged at the rate of $25 per file. | |
