A 
login has a configuration parameter called sender email.
Sending emails for logins
The 
send email function will allow you to send an email out for a login.
Sending emails for folders
When you email from the 
folder section then you have additional choices on the first email screen:
Sending email for folder
You can have the direct in the email point to the folder that you are in. This might make navigation easier.
Hide link to parent folder
You can hide the link to the parent folder on the client pages. Your clients will be able to see the folder that you send the email from, but they can not navigate back into other folders.
Alternatively you could
add a login
directly for the folder in question.
Email line filtering
If you enable Hide link to parent folder then INTERDUBS will filter the email template. All lines that start with
IDXDROPIFHIDEPARENT
will not be part of the email text that you see.
If you use the default email template then the lines that contain the login name and password will be removed by this filter. Entering the login name and password would give your client access to the main folder, not the sub folder only as you intended.
Sending emails for files
If you send email from the 
edit file function, then the email will point directly to that file, but people can navigate around the login that you sent the email against.
Email bundles
You can send multiple logins or reels with one email. Please see 
email bundles for details.
Download link email
You can send an email with links that will download selected files. Please see 
download link email for details.
Email Distribution
The
Email distribution
feature allows you to send one email to different logins via one command.
Mass email
You can send out a
mass mailing
with INTERDUBS. See Mail merge for details.
Sending email yourself
You can also send email yourself, instead of sending it via the INTERDUBS system.
When sending email yourself you have the following choices:
Copy email text into copy paste buffer
clicking this allows you to paste the email text into any application that you can paste text into.
Send email with your mail program
clicking this option will open the mail program you use on this computer via the mailto: link and will fill out subject and email text for you. All you need to do is add the addresses.
Email text displayed
when you do not enter any email address on the first screen then you will see the email how it would send. You could manually copy paste portion of the generated email for instance.
Use tracking while sending email yourself
If you enter an email recipient on the first screen then the system will generate a valid tracking link. So, even though you sent the email yourself, you will be able to tell that the access to your pages has come from the email you used.
Display name
INTERDUBS can use a display name alongside the actual email address. This is optional and be used in the from as well as for the recipient. Please note that the display name for the recipient will be visible for your client.
From: / Reply-to: / [email protected]
INTERDUBS allows you very detailed control of the sender part of the email that the system generates and sends out.
Depending on your needs you can customize this to match your requirements.
INTERDUBS will remember the settings for these fields automatically. But you can also update them via the personal preferences screen.
Default Setting
The default setting for the sender part is geared toward maximum success of delivery. Please see below for specific explanation of those email sender fields in question. If you have not changed the setting then INTERDUBS set set the sender as follows:
from: [email protected] reply-to: YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS
The default settings are geared towards delivery rates above the 99% mark. Depending on your audience you often can afford to alter your settings to match your needs:
from:
The from: part is used by some mail filters to verify the authenticity of the email. Each email has two parts: The name or identified of the recipient on the left of the @ sign, and the so called domain part on the right of it. If the domain part matches the the actual system that the email comes from then this helps in some filters to qualify the email as non spam. It is worth noting here that difference spam filters by no means agree on rules like this. At INTERDUBS we constantly monitor the most common systems and put everything in place that gains most situations and harms nobody. If herding cats comes to mind then you are pretty spot on. Our amazing success in delivering email is based on a great number of tiny little details that got tweaked.
It does help to have interdubs.com as the domain part of your email. Your segment name (like 'example') could also be used as in [email protected] when your links would look like http:///www.interdubs.com/r/example/. This will forward to the sender email being set in the configuration of your segment.
Finally you can set the from: also to your own email. INTERDUBS will send the email. All email programs will work, no matter how poor their reply functionality is implemented. Most often your email will also be delivered.
reply-to:
The reply-to: part of your email should get used by an email program if the user selects a reply or reply all function. The vast majority of email programs do so. It is advisable that you set this address to your personal email address. INTERDUBS does so by default.
[email protected]
The address [email protected] is set as the default from part as explained above. Should an email program reply to this address then we end up getting the email. We will forward the email to the person in question as long that is possible. Much we never look at the content you post we also will -of course- ignore the content of these emails.
Entering an email addresses
First you enter the email addresses of the people that should receive the email for the login. See below for ways how you can enter email addresses in Interdubs.
typing a new address
You can enter email addresses with the keyboard into the email field of the first screen. If you enter a space or "," the email will be added above in the list of emails to be used.
autofind
If you start to type an email name, and the email is in the 
address book then you will find it as an option 
below. Click on the button with the name in order to add the email address.
history
Interdubs keeps track of the emails that you sent. To send email to the same group of people again you can simply click on the history listing in the lower part of the screen. All people that did receive the email before will be added.
editing
you can 
remove email addresses from the current sender list.
automatic BCC
You can configure to send a BCC email to an address you define. Some companies like to keep a record of all emails sent out via INTERDUBS. In order to activate this feature set the email address(es) you like to use in the configuration of your segment. Look for email address(es) to bcc on all mails sent in the config screen.
actual email to send
Once you are done with the email you can select the on to step 2 button to continue.
address check
If an address new then Interdubs will do a simple check if it can find a computer on the internet that is designated to handle email for this domain. If there is an error in this phase then you will receive a warning message. It is likely that you have a typo after the @ sign. If Interdubs should be wrong about this part, then please let me know, which address it wrongfully complained about. If address is new but the system can find the part behind the '@' sign, then interdubs will offer to check the full email address in a new page. This does sometimes works, but some mail servers are configured to always acknowledge the existence ('yahoo' for instance), or they will not cooperate with user lookups. Google gmail works pretty well here.
subject and email text
Interdubs looks up the configuration values for the subject and email text and fills out the fields with the proper values. You can alter the email you send. If you find yourself doing so frequently then you should probably rather change the configuration values. You can have your own personal email default text that INTERDUBS will use. You can set this under personal preferences
show other people who received an email
Interdubs sends each person an invidual email. This is a feature. If you like for people to see who else has gotten the Interdubs email then you can leave this box checked.
line space doubling
Some mail programs have been reported to have no line spacings in Interdubs emails. I am pretty sure that this problem has been addressed or respectively was caused by the receiving system. I left this checkbox in the end of the page, so that you can use it if you need to. If you do, then please let me know so that I can look into the issue further.
Email log
All emails that you send from within Interdubs will be logged. You can access this information with the 
email log icon in the edit login function.
Email template
The email text will be generated based on the email template configuration parameters. These can be, as all configuration paramaters, changed for the entire segment, specific logins or in what's called a look. See email template for details.
Email signature
The text of an email gets extended by a signature section in the end. This is made out of two parts:
Company signature
This usually contains your companies address and contact info. Having real information in this section will improve your chances of spam filters letting your email go through. Especially when the actually message is very short.
INTERDUBS signature
There is a default INTERDUBS signature that will be appended after the company signature. Of course you can override or even remove the default by changing the configuration value for this. Please note that very short messages might be caught in spam filters easily.
