Junk Mail, is the common term used to describe unsolicited email. Examples of Junk Mail include: ads, pyramid schemes, and prizes that you have "won."
To help minimize the receipt of Junk Mail, ONmail allows you to customize your own spam filters as well as block any emails that include specific domain names, email addresses, subject or body text content, etc.
.
SecureSend enables you to securely send files and documents via the Internet. It uses a proven encryption process to ensure that files cannot be read until they reach the recipient's SecureSend Inbox. SecureSend also maintains a history log of files that have been sent and received.
POP3 is designed to support "offline" mail processing. POP3 is ideal for people who only access their email on a single computer such as at home or at work, but not both. When using POP3, mail is delivered to our server, and the user uses a mail "client" program (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) that connects to the server and downloads all of the pending mail to the user's own machine. Once delivered to your computer, the messages are deleted from the mail server (unless you configure your client to leave your mail on the server.)
IMAP is an especially convenient method of delivery for those who access their email on multiple computers. A growing number of email users have one machine at work and a different one at home, possibly also a laptop for travel. Like POP3, mail is delivered to our server, but the mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc) does not copy it all at once and then delete it from the server. Messages on our server can be marked with various status flags (e.g. "deleted" or "answered") and can be moved to folders either on a local computer or on the server. They will stay on the server until explicitly removed by the user. This way any changes made to the messages can be viewed from any computer.
The largest file that you can send using secure send is 100MB.
The largest email that you can send is up to 25MB in size.
If you aren't receiving emails which you know have been sent to you, please verify the following things:
1) Make sure the messages haven't been filtered into the Junk-Mail folder inadvertantly.
2) Contact the sender to see if they received any email returns or error messages.
If you are only receiving email from users in your enterprise, please consider the following:
1. Are you using your own domain?
2. Check to see if the mx records point to our service.
This is typically caused by a spam message that was sent using your email address. This is a an attempt to send out spam message using your address listed as the return path. When the spammer sends their message to an invalid email address the bounce message comes back to your account, because they used your address.
This usually happens because your computer or someone who has you listed in their contacts could be infected by a virus.
Some possible solutions to prevent this from happening are:
If you are unable to reply, forward or open an email this is likely caused by pop-up blockers. To solve this issue, please make sure that all pop-up blockers are disabled for the site.
If you are unable to see the images in your email, please adjust your junk mail controls using the following steps:
1. Click Preferences
2. Click on Junk Mail Controls
3. Select Not to hide embedded images within email.
If you are experiencing difficulty in viewing the Print, Delete or Save Icons, please try the following steps:
1. In the Internet Explorer menu box go to Tools >>> Internet Options >>> Accessibility >>> Make sure all boxes are unchecked.
2. In the Internet Explorer menu box go to Tools >>> Internet Options >>> Security Tab >>> Custom Level>>> Make sure that 'Run ActiveX controls' is enabled.
3. If running or using Norton Internet Security, disable Norton then Log out and Log back into the application.
A common cause of this issue relates to the settings on the POP3 account. To solve this problem the POP3 Client will have to select leave a copy of message on server in their account settings.
Please verify the following if you are having problems sending from a web form to a Blue Tie account or mailing list:
1) Verify that the email is not going to the Junk-Mail folder of the recipient
2) If the form is being sent with a From Email address that is in our system, verify that you are using smtp.bluetie.com with authentication to send. The authentication must use the username and password that the From address is associated with.
3) If the form is being sent with a From Email address that is not in our system, verify that you are not using smtp.bluetie.com to send out. This will look like a spoofed email message and will result in the email being rejected.

There are four main ways to add an appointment to your calendar: two which lend themselves best to quickly adding appointments which require few details and do not involve inviting other attendees, and two which are best used when doing detailed event planning and inviting other attendees.
Highlight & Type: To add an event, simply highlight the desired block of time on your calendar, and type a description. If needed, you can add additional details or
invite attendees by right-clicking on the event and choosing “Edit Event”.
QuickAdd: To add an event, simply type a description into the QuickAdd scheduling box. This convenient feature recognizes times, activities, days and dates, and schedules your event using a set of built-in rules of thumb. For example, if no time is specified, “lunch” is assumed to start at noon and last 1 hour. If needed, you can add additional details or invite
attendees by right-clicking on the event and choosing “Edit Event”.
Right-Click Menu: To add an event, left-click on the desired date and start-time, right-click, and select “New Event”. An appointment screen will appear with the desired date and
1.) Right-click on the event instance you would like to delete

Once you have created a new event in your Calendar, you can easily view or edit the details of that event.
1) To view the Subject, Start, and End times for an existing event, simply mouse over the event entry on your Calendar. A text box will appear, displaying the desired information.
2) To change the date or Start time of an event you have scheduled, you may either:
- Drag & drop the event to the new desired Start date and time. Events may be dragged to either the main calendar view, or any small calendar view. Dragging & dropping from one date to another will result in no change in the desired Start time.
- Grab the top or bottom edge of an event and resize it to change its duration.
To invite an attendee, type the email address or username of the person you wish to invite. Or, if the person you wish to invite is in your address book, use the SimpleClick feature by clicking the name of this person from your Contacts list pane.

your calendar, but also provides the ability to add and edit appointments.

You can assign each user which you are sharing calendars with a color in order to organize these shared calendars better. When selecting a specific calendar to view, the assigned color will show up on your calendar while viewing. If you clear your cache in the browser, this will reset these colors back to the default colors originally assigned and remove the assignments which you have previously saved.
If your appointments are displaying with the incorrect time then:
Check the Windows system clock and make sure that the time zone is set to your current local time zone. The calendar runs off of the Windows system clock and would be affected in the application if this was changed or altered in any way.
There is a delay on the time it takes a meeting request to be created, and the time it takes to show up in the calendar. The request immediately shows up in the MyDay section, but is delayed when showing up on the calendar itself.

How do I setup my domain email addresses in ONmail?
Before you make any changes to your MX record, log in to your ONmail account, click the Preferences link, and choose the Email Domains and Aliases option in the Enterprise section. Click the Request Domain button, type your domain name (do not include 'www' prefix) and click Submit Request. ONmail Support will process the request and send you an email when the request has been processed. Once processed, your domain name will appear on the aliases page. Click the Manage My Domain button to automatically create aliases for all users and manage forwarding. To add additional email aliases to an account, simply click the Enterprise icon and then click on the user name and click the Email Aliases button. After the email addresses is setup in our system, you will then need to have the registrar change the MX record.
What is an MX record?
MX stands for "mail exchanger," also known as a Mail Relay record. When you attempt to send a message to your email address (yourname@yourcompany.com), the MX record tells other sites where your mail should be sent. This is similar to how website addresses & DNS records work. In fact, an MX record is part of the DNS record and indicates to servers where to go to locate your website.
Changing your MX record is generally done in one of two ways:
• Many companies provide a separate login page for users to gain access to their accounts. If you have this ability, log in to your account and change your MX record to point to mail.oxfordnetworks.net.
• You may need to contact your registrar or domain host directly. Call, fax, or email the company to request an MX change to mail.oxfordnetworks.net.
How long does it take to change an MX record?
There are two factors that come into play when changing your MX record. The first is the response time of the ISP to actually enter the changes into their system. Once the changes are entered, they will propagate to the rest of the servers on the Internet, one server at a time. This will usually occur within 24-48 hours, but may happen as fast as 2-3 hours. Oxford Networks can not control either of these circumstances, but will work to help make your transition as easy as possible.
I am leaving ONmail, how do I switch back?
You will need to call the registrar or use the built in interface to change your settings back. ONmail does not record your old settings, therefore you should keep those in a safe place.
How do I purchase my own domain name?
You may register a name from any domain registrar.

RCPT TO generated following response: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname, [xx.xx.78.36]
Resolution:
This error will occur if the sending server does not have a reverse DNS hostname. Contact the administrator of the sending server and inform them that the hostname must resolve to a valid hostname to follow standard RFC compiancy and to allow emails to be sent to our servers.

This page provides settings and reference materials regarding system Junk-Mail
Step 1: Login to the web application
Step 2: Click Preferences
Step 3: Click Junk-Mail Controls
Step 4: Set the level of junk mail stringency to the desired threshold (refer to SPAM Scoring Chart)
Step 5: Click Save
Note: If 'Set the level of junk mail stringency' is not seen in the Junk Mail Controls prefences, contact the Enterprise Manager to either have them set the threshold or grant you access to set it from your account.
The table below provides how an account's threshold matches up to the score that our SPAM filtering software gives a particular message.
For example, if your threshold is set to a 5, our system would all all emails that score a 2.5 or less into the Inbox. If a message is scored above a 2.5 it would be sent to the Junk-Mail folder.
Account Threshold |
Header Score |
| 10 - Most Restrictive | 0 |
| 9 | 0.5 |
| 8 | 1.0 |
| 7 | 1.5 |
| 6 | 2.0 |
| 5 | 2.5 |
| 4 | 3.0 |
| 3 | 3.5 |
| 2 | 4.0 |
| 1 | 4.5 |
| 0 - Least Restrictive | 5 |
In an effort to combat the effects of spam email on our customers, ONmail has implemented several new email rules and restrictions. Stringent rules are being applied industry-wide and in following this trend, we hope to decrease the amount of spam coming into the system by applying the following rules and by identifying the predictable behavior and system specifications that spammers use.
The SPAM score is used to provide a statistical average to monitor and properly place emails coming in frequently from specific addresses. This service has been put in place to help prevent false-positives.
When an ONmail interface user flags a message as Junk, by either using the Flag as feature or dragging the message to the Junk folder, the IP address of the sending server is recorded in ONmail's Complaint Table and may be blacklisted by ONmail servers
In order to be blacklisted by ONmail’s servers, the following criteria must be met:
Please note that the email sender will receive a bounceback message from the ONmail servers.
Prior to delivering email to our customers, ONmail performs a reverse lookup on the ‘From’ address of the sending mail server. This reverse IP lookup cannot be blank, it must resolve to a hostname. For example, ONmail's sending server response to a reverse IP lookup would be mail.oxfordnetworks.net.
- Reverse DNS lookup failures are temporary and will result in a temporary error bounceback while the server retries to send the messages sending servers will typically generate the first temporary error bounceback to the sender after 4 hours. Please note that this timeframe is configurable per server.
- The sending server will generate a permanent bounce after the retry timeframe has expired (this timeframe is also configurable, but is generally 5-7days), the sending server will generate a bounceback message stating that a permanent error has occurred and that the message was not delivered.
Resolution: If a sender should receive a bounceback stating that a temporary or permanent failure has occurred “450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname” the administrator for that server should be contacted and a valid hostname should be given to the sending server.
When sending email to ONmail, the sending mail server must respond to a preliminary ‘handshake’ from the ONmail servers with a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN.) The FQDN identifies the server & domain name. For example, ONmail’s sending mail server’s FQDN reads outbound1.oxfordnetworks.net.This restriction helps to reduce incoming spam, as most spamming machines do not identify themselves with a FQDN.
- Failure to respond with correct FQDN format will cause a permanent error to occur and a bounceback message will be generated.
- Failure to comply will result in a 504 5.5.2 error: HELO command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname. Connection to host lost.
Resolution: If a sender should receive a bounceback message with this error referenced, the administrator for that server should be contacted and the FQDN should be updated to current RFC standards.
Any user sending out of the ONmail SMTP service, must use a valid email address/alias. The following error will be received if the proper authentication is not used:
Error: 553 <tester@yahoo.com>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user tester@oxfordnetworks.net
A valid address is defined as an address or alias that is found in the ONmail system. Any address that is used to send mail from a mail client (such as Outlook) must also be found on the username that is using SMTP authentication. This can be verified in the user aliases section which is accessible via the Enterprise Manager.
To regulate traffic, throttling rules are applied to both inbound and outbound messages.

What is an MX record?
MX stands for "mail exchanger," also known as a Mail Relay record. When you attempt to send a message to your email address (yourname@yourcompany.com), the MX record tells other sites where your mail should be sent. This is similar to how website addresses & DNS records work. In fact, an MX record is part of the DNS record and indicates to servers where to go to locate your website.
Contact the domain hosting company to point the MX record to:
mail.bluetie.com
Please contact your domain hosting company for further information on configuring the MX record.
