Tips to Configure Email

Automatic Email Redirection

To set up the email redirect service, all you need to do is tell Ray Paleczny that you want all email sent to yourname@paleczny.com to be redirected automatically to your email account that you access with your local ISP. You don't have to do anything further.

However, if you want your return emails (that are sent from your local ISP) to say that your return email address is yourname@paleczny.com, then you can try the following. These examples refer to two current industry leading packages.

If using Netscape Communicator 4.7, click on Edit/Preferences. Then in the column on the left, choose Identity. On the right is a box entitled, "Repy-to address (only needed if different from email address)," enter yourname@paleczny.com in this box. Note that the actual mail servers are set up elsewhere -- which you don't need to change.
Similarly, if using Microsoft Outlook 2000, click on Tools/Accounts/Properties and under the first tab, General, you can enter your email return address as yourname@paleczny.com. Note that the actual mail servers are set up elsewhere -- which you don't need to change.

Advanced option: Send locally and receive via Paleczny.com's host

For the advanced option, you need to change the existing configuration of your mail servers. Now, your mail servers are probably set up to send and receive email locally. You need to change the settings so that you send locally and receive via the Paleczny.com host, Outer-Net Technology (www.outer-net.com), based in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook 2000, click on Tools/Accounts/Properties and so on to set up your outgoing and incoming email servers. Your incoming mail server is a POP3 server. Its address is mail1.atsny.com.
If you are using Netscape Communicator 4.7, click on Edit/Preferences, then in the column on the left, choose Mail & News Groups/ Mail Servers, and set up your outgoing and incoming email servers. Your incoming mail server is a POP3 server. Its address is (.....)

Note that if you are a customer of a high speed internet service, you may be unable to use the advanced option. High speed services may use dynamic IP addressing, which means that every time you sign on to the Internet, you are assigned a different IP address. Unless you are able to provide us with the precise range of the IP addresses under which you would be entering AT Services servers, we are unable to configure access for you. With regular modem access, you would provide a static IP address that is assigned to your account by your local ISP.
