Assigning Email Addresses
Overview
Directra allows admins to assign email routing address using the Group's domain name or subdomain name. This allows complete control for routing emails to individual members (either automatically or manually), to a set of members, or even to addresses which are not related to the Group.
Assigning Addresses
Addresses can be assigned in two ways:
- Automatic: Directra will assign a routing address as each member is added to the Group. Or you can have Directra do the assignment to all members at once.
- Manual: An admin can add a new address, update or remove an existing address, and create multiple-recipient mailing lists as the target for a routing address.
Assigned email addresses are always of the form:
[assigned-address]@[subdomain.directra.com]
if Directra does not provide routing for an Internet domain for you, or
[assigned-address]@mydomain.com
if you have an Internet domain and Directra handles email routing for that domain.
Using an Assigned Address
To send a message to a member using the assigned email address, click the email icon ( 
) on the member's Member Page, then select the routing address. You can also use the member's routing address in another email program.
To send a message using a routing address that is not assigned to a specific member, use that routing address in any email program. Because your domain or subdomain is managed by Directra, when the message is sent, it will come to Directra, which will then route the message to the appropriate target address.
Removing an Assigned Address
If for any reason you need to delete an assigned address, select the action Assign Email Addresses from the Members menu drop-down list. Locate the address and click Delete at the end of the row. You'll get a confirmation message just to make sure you don't delete the wrong item.
