Node Names and Domain Names

If you receive your mail using SMTP rather than POP3 then you need to know your node name. If you have not registered a domain name then your node address (node name) will be the latter part of your e-mail address. For example, if your e-mail address is bob@softalk.demon.co.uk, then your node address is softalk.demon.co.uk. If you have registered a domain name (e.g. softalk.com), then your e-mail address may be bob@softalk.com, however the node address will still remain softalk.demon.co.uk. If you are in any doubt as to your node name then contact your Internet provider.

If you have a domain name, then this must be specified in the Address tab of the Workgroup dialog box in the WIG Administrator program. Also each user should select the relevant domain name in their Address pull down menu in the Address tab of the User dialog box in the Workgroup Administrator program. Doing so specifies how their address will appear to their recipients.
