DNS and Host name information

 

Home Plan Pro can attach plans to email messages and send them to recipients of your choice.

 

The easiest way for us to do that, is to use the DNS (Domain Name System) of your machine. Each machine has a DNS assigned when they are connected to the internet. You don't even need a email server to use your machine's dynamic DNS.

 

A growing number of internet servers who are unwilling to accept email from dynamic DNS numbers. If your recipient gets their email from one of those servers, you will get a message to that effect.

 

If this is a problem for your recipients, you can check the "Use Host Name" radio button at the lower right of the Email screen.

When you do that, you will be asked to enter a host name. Your email provider can tell you what their host name is. An example is: "mail.msn.com".

 

Home Plan Pro will remember the host name and use it as long as the "Use Host Name" radio button is selected.
