Hi edzik21, welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Are you asking how to setup the Administrator email address that the server includes in error messages sent to the client? If so, you are looking for the ServerAdmin [httpd.apache.org] directive.

if you mean setting up smtp/pop3 servers check out hmail or mercury mail.
no experience, just names i've overheard...

ok thanks I will chech out all what you answer me but I think it is not what I want :( ..... I will try to explane what I need with simple exemple :

I have 1000 clients ( V.I.P ), I want to send them all an email of news ( I do not want to write 1000 mesages :)))) ). Something like "subscribe for news"!

Thanks coopster - it is not what I need but in future mybe I will need it :)
Phranque - something like that! :) thanks :)

[edzik21]

Phranque - thanks, this is what I want :) if I need some help I will ask for it :)

[phranque]

edzik21 - you might also want to look at a mailing list manager...

[edzik21]

phranque - thanks I will look up for it :)
But now I need to know something else :
I download and install hMailServer and security too. I have my own homepage www.bannerplace.info - works 100% ( very simple - mande for some testing PHP and others things ) but I do not uderstand how to make email ( for exemple - [e-mail] and [e-mail] and so on ... ), where to look what I have send and so on ...

I need to instal SquirrelMail too?

[phranque]

you can use squirrelmail to provide a web interface to your email server, but it is not necessary.

to "create the email addresses" you should use hMailAdmin to create your domain(s) and accounts.

Hmmmmm ..... Ihave instaled hmailserver and creat accaunot [e-mail], but ther is a problem.... I can not see what I get ( I see only thet my size is growing up ) for exemple I send me by myself a mesage to this adress and I do not see the text what I have write in this mesage! Wher can I see it?
Is there some manual or tutorial about hmailserver using?
