It is not uncommon that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) blocks outgoing
traffic on port 25, to prevent potential viruses in your PC to send Email. If this is

Check with your ISP, and update the ‘Outgoing email server (SMTP)’ field in the
web administration interface accordingly. To do this log in as administrator,
click “Email” and “Server settings”.

handling inComing emails
If you have your own domain name it is possible to let B3 handle your incom-

When adding a user, you automatically get an Email account set up on your B3.

1. Browse to
http://b3
(
http://b3.local
if using Mac).
2. Log on as administrator.
3. Click ‘Email’ and then ‘Server settings’.
4. Enter your domain name (i.e. ‘<your-domain>’) in the field ‘Handle email for

5. Click update.

After this has been done, Email sent to users @ your domain will be received by
