This document describes how to configure NetNow! to download and distribute email from your Demon Internet account.

Solution
Firstly you must enter your Demon Internet domain name within NetNow!. You can work out your Demon domain name by looking at your Demon email address. For instance if your email address is: support@redrock.demon.co.uk

Then your domain would be:

redrock.demon.co.uk

This information is used by NetNow! when routing incoming emails, to enter this into NetNow!:

Run the NetNow! server.
Select "Options|Services".
Enter your domain name here.

Next you must configure the email collection:

Select "Options|Remote Pop3"
Select "Add"
Enter your account details as per figure 1a (below), enter "pop3.demon.co.uk" for the name of your Pop3 server, enter your Demon Internet user name in the "account/username" box.

Extras

You may also wish to configure your message routing options. By default NetNow! will route incoming emails to one user. To turn on message routing:

Select "Options|Remote Pop3"
Highlight your Demon account and select "properties"
Select the tab marked "message routing"
If you wish all incoming message for this account to be routed to one user only, select the option "send to listed recipient", and then choose a user name from the drop down menu.
If you would like incoming emails to be distributed to users according to the name that is in front of the domain, then select the option "enable message routing"
When configuring Demon Remote POP3 accounts, you should use the "Use *ENV extensions to POP3" for inbound Routing. Please ensure that this option is selected.

Now that message routing is configured, NetNow! will match the incoming emails according to the name found ahead of the domain name. For example an email addressed to:

support@redrock.demon.co.uk

would be moved to the NetNow! mailbox "support". If no mailbox exists called support, then the email will be sent to the postmaster.

Finally you will need to configure your outgoing mail settings. To do this:

Select "Options|Outgoing mail".
Enter "post.demon.co.uk" as your remote mail server.

3. Select "OK". Finally the recommended procedure for Demon is to switch on the "Local Network only" option (3) for the Access Control tab of the SMTP Service.

To do this:

Select "Options->Services->SMTP service".
Highlight the service, and select properties.
Select "access control".
Ensure that the "Local Network only" option is selected.
