point it to their ISP.

to automatically capture any name that may be emailed to your domain
name. This means that as long as the yourdomain.com is correct even
typos in the user name will still be captured and not refused. We
also provide the ability to turn this feature off.

commands. For example if you wanted a footer on all your pages that

a simple 'Include' to read that file and place it on the desired
pages.

audio stream is transmitted from the server over the Internet to
the destination and played immediately, rather than being stored

CronJobs
Cron is the ability to run programs based on the system clock. A
cronjob is a scheduled task that you want to automatically run at
a scheduled time, e.g. run my backup at 7:30pm everyday. You need
to create a cron table or "crontab", a file of dates and
commands that you want to run. A crontab file instructs the system
to run specific commands at a given time. We allow you to run one
cronjob a day.
