Welcome email for new email customers

You can create a standard welcome message to be sent to mailboxes in a domain or company from the reseller control panel. These messages can contain plain text, or you can send messages that support HTML and attachments.

• Create a welcome message in the OpenSRS Control Panel
• Create a Bulletin in the MAC
  • Post manual bulletins in the MAC
• Include HTML content

At the company or domain level, you can create a welcome message sent to all new accounts when created.

Note:  You must be a company administrator to send a company bulletin.

1.  In the email section of the Control Panel, select Email domains.
   
   
2. Navigate to the domain for which you want to create a domain-level welcome message and click the Settings tab.
   Note: you can go to the setting under the email tab to create a company-level welcome message.
   
   
3.  Scroll down to the welcome message section, click Edit.
   
4. In the message headers section, enter the email address from which you want the welcome message to be sent, a subject for your bulletin, and any other header information.

Post manual bulletins in the MAC

Bulletins are only delivered locally, and any forwarding settings are ignored. Accounts that are set to forward only will not see the bulletin.

1. Select the bulletins that you want to send, and then click Post selected.
   
   
2. To send the bulletin to every account in the domain or company, ensure an asterisk (*) in the Post to field and click Post.
   Note: To send the bulletin to specific accounts, enter the individual email addresses in the Post To field, separated by commas.
