In this beta version, Ichabod does not do direct SMTP delivery. You will need to set Ichabod to send mail to your ISPs mailer program to be forwarded to its eventual destination. Direct SMTP delivery is in alpha. Let me know if you like to test it. You have to create a Remote Administration account to administer the host.
Mailing lists are automatically administerable via email.
See the Administation FAQ for details on how to create a Remore Administration account. This is on our todo list, but not with a high priority. If you want to leave your mail on the server, and access it from multiple locations, just use the web interface. We welcome your opnion on this. Customer feedback helps us prioritize our feature list.
