Problems?

If you are experiencing problems when attempting to send or receive mail, please do the following:


(1) Make sure that your domain has been transferred to point to our name servers. If the domain has not been transferred to our name servers, email on your domain will not function.

Brinkster's name servers are NS1.Brinkster.com and NS2.Brinkster.com


(2) Make sure that you are using the entire email address as the user name (i.e. User name should be in the format Account@YourDomain.com) and verify that all other settings from above are correct.


(3) Make sure that the 'My server requires authentication' box is checked. Please see the links above for instructions on setting smtp authentication.


(4) Review the Video Tutorials for the program you are using.


(5) Open up your case manager from the control panel and submit a case with the following information:

   (a) Your Account User Name

   (b) Your Domain Name

   (c) The specific error message that you are receiving in your mail client.

   (d) The exact settings (from above) that you are using.
