Group Email

Your email hosting allows you to set up an email account, so that it mails to a group of email addresses. In the example below, we have used the email user group@registeraustraliandomains.com , as the group email account. When an email is sent to this email address, all the email addresses that are listed in the group email, will be automatically sent the original email. It will not display the recipients email addresses, only group@registeraustraliandomains.com will appear in the To field.

The disadvantage of using this kind of group email is that anyone can send an email to the entire group by knowing the group email address but the advantage is, that if you have a group of teachers, committee members, etc that all need to receive mail, rather than having to forward mail individually, a group email address could be set up or for the purposes of domain name registration systems which only notify the registrant of an expiring domain name, a group email address could be set up, so that more than one person receives the notice.

How to set up group mail?

Firstly, login to http://domains.passioncomputing.com.au and navigate to the following page. You can get to this page by clicking the "Mail" icon, under Services.

You will notice that in the diagram below, the email accounts are highlighted. Click on the email account that you want to enable group mail to. If you need to create a new email account click on the icon that says 'Add New Mail Account' (Setting up an email account has full instructions on how to set up a new email account)

The following page will appear. Click on the Mail Group icon.

You can then add a New Member to the Group.

Once you are finished adding members to the group, navigate up and make sure the button in Tools says is "Switch On" In the diagram above, Group Mail is already switched on, so the icon says "Switch Off"

Send an email to the group email address to check that it is all working.
