E-Mail Settings

Submitting domain offers via e-mail requires an active mail server. Since many users do not have a mail server, and those who do have it may not know how to configure it, D.R.T. Is capable of sending e-mail offers from the D.R.T. Server making the e-mail look as if it's coming from the address specified in the e-mail field.

So, other than inputting your regular e-mail address into the e-mail field, no other work is required to send automated offer e-mails.

If you wish to use your own mail server select the "Use my e-mail server" option and input the required data into the proper fields. Custom e-mail servers must be compatible with the SMTP mail protocol (99% are).

Remember to edit the mail template before sending out automated messages. To edit the template simply click on the "Mail Template" tab and edit whatever fields you wish.

The following variables are reserved and are replaced with actual values when the e-mail is dispatched:

• $domain -The domain for which the offer is being sent. This is an optional variable and is not required to send offers but is recommended.
• $offer - The offer value for the specific domain. Remember to include an extra $ (as a dollar sign) before the "$offer". This is an optional variable and is not required to send offers but is recommended.

The above two variables are replaced in "run time". You may test your template and e-mail settings by pressing the "Test E-mail" button. This will result in a test offer for domain test.com being e-mailed to the address specified in the E-Mail field.

Setting up DRT to work with Gmail:

Now you can send offer e-mails using your gmail account. It's quite easy to setup, just follow the steps below. The advantage of using Gmail for e-mails is that invalid e-mail addresses will bounce back (so you'll know which messages were not delivered). This does not happen when using DRT e-mail servers because the mail bounces back to our server from which it is deleted automatically.

1. First, logon to your Gmail account and click on Settings (upper right corner of the screen).
2. Next, click on "Forwarding and POP".
3. Next, select "Enable POP for all mail", click "Save Changes". You can now close Gmail.
4. Launch DRT, and select "Options->E-mail Settings".
5. Select "Use my e-mail server".
6. Input your gmail e-mail into the "e-mail" and "username" fields. Then input your password.
7. Enter "smtp.gmail.com" into the SMTP server field.
8. Click "Test Email". Then click "OK" to save your settings.
