Custom Email Plans for Your Domain

You must have an Email plan at NameBright to edit Email settings on your domains.

Owning a domain name offers numerous benefits, and having a custom email address is among the most significant ones. Whether you're an individual or a large enterprise, our email plans are versatile enough to meet your needs.

The Difference Between Email Account Types

NameBright provides two types of email accounts:

  1. Domain Level Emails A domain level email is the most common type of email account. You specify a specific email address which is the exact email address that you will use. As an example you might set up "webmaster" @ "example.com".

  2. Category Level Email Accounts Category level email accounts allow you to set up an email prefix @ any domain name in a category. All emails that go to your email prefix @ [a domain in the category] will go into one single email account.  When you reply to the email, NameBright will route the email back through the specific email address that the person sent the email to.  This way you have one account to manage, when you might have 100 domains in the category and 100 different email addresses that are all webmaster@domain1.com and webmaster@domain2.com and webmaster@domain3.com.

Default Sending Address

This setting is only used on wildcard email addresses.

Essentially when you send email from our web-mail client you will be able to send the email from whomever you want. But the default sending address is the email address that will be auto-populated when composing new email messages.

If you do not configure the default sending address, the web-mail client will use the default address of "mail@" for wildcard addresses. 

In the case of categories with default sending addresses, we will auto-populate the first domain name that we find in the category unless you specify an exact address in the default sending address.


Log Into NameBright Mail With A Wildcard Email, And / Or A Category Email

NameBright's unique and robust email system allows you to log into an account with ANY valid receiving address for that account. 

If you have a wildcard address (*), you can pick any address @'your domain' to log in with and it will sign you in; if you have a category-level account set up, you can also log in using any domain in that category.

Wildcard example:

*@Example.com would allow you to sign in as ANYTHING@Example.com

Category example:

Category '123' contains the domain 'Example.com' and you have mail@[Category: '123'] as an account, you could sign in as mail@Example.com or mail@ any other domain in the category.


Email Language Filter

The email language filter looks at the alphabets / alpha-numeric characters used in an email to filter out non-English emails as "language spam". This could potentially include legitimate emails, but in languages you do not understand or would be likely to respond to. Most often this is a good way of trapping SPAM you do not want to see in your inbox.

Note: Because French, Spanish and Italian are similar alphabetically to the English language, French, Spanish and Italian will typically not be blocked by this setting. Other languages such as Mandarin, Arabic, Japanese, etc. will be more easily caught.
