Post Affiliate Pro is very advanced system with many features, so there are many things you

maximum tiers of your program and another settings related to commissions.

You can set your system email address (will be used when sending email from the system) and
the method of sending.
Usually selecting "send by mail()" is teh best option for Linux/Unix hostings. If you use MS Windows

Payout method configuration allows you to define minimum payout amounts for affiliates as well as
define or modify the payout options. There are four default payout optins: Check, PayPal, MoneyBookers and
Bank/Wire transfer.
The system is very flexible and nothing restricts you from defining your own payout options.

This eliminates problems with fake clicks and sales caused by cheating affiliates.
