If you encounter problems with the multi-drop account, you should combine both multi-
drop and single-drop. Newly set-up addresses can then be put into operation instantly
by using the multi-drop accounts. If problems occur create a single-drop account with
your provider for the problematic users.

Multi-drop accounts
Multi-drop mailboxes
Subscribe for a new mailbox of the POP server or delete a subscription by clicking on
the "Add" or "Remove" button respectively. This list will show multi-drop accounts only.
You have to specify a username and a password to be able to access a mailbox on a
POP server. Ask your provider for the required values.
For each mailbox you have to specify the corresponding local domain. When retrieving
emails from the mailboxes listed here, an attempt will be made to reconstruct the
original recipient from the contents of the email. The email will then be delivered to
the recognised recipient. If SX-GATE was not able to deduce the original recipient, the
email will be delivered to the administrator instead.
Although it is possible to specify multiple multi-drop mailboxes per POP server, this
usually doesn't make sense. In most cases only one multi-drop mailbox exists at the
provider.
Multi-drop domains
To deduce the recipient search in email for these domains
To reconstruct the original recipient of an email, SX-GATE has to know how the relevant
addresses look like. Therefore SX-GATE searches in certain email headers for email
addresses ending with one of the domains entered here. The domain part of a matching
email address will be replaced by the target domain specified along with the mailbox.
The email will then be delivered to this address. If no matches were found, the mail will
be delivered to the administrator.
