Stop Sp@m

Email Forwarders (Redirects): Email is no longer allowed to be redirected to outside email accounts.

• Who will this affect?
  
  • Users who are forwarding messages to yahoo.com, aol.com, hotmail.com, or any other email address not ending with the original domain name.
  • EXAMPLE:
    • Not Acceptable – bob@mydomainname.com forwards to bob123@yahoo.com
    • Acceptable – bob@mydomainname.com forwards to bob123@mydomainname.com
• Why This Change?
• Many Hosting companies are taking a stronger stance against Spam mail. To the point that servers will be blacklisted (email will not be accepted from that server) if they send Spam. If mail from your server is blacklisted, you will find it near impossible to communicate with other businesses via email. An Email forwarder works by Forwarding all messages sent to one email account to another email account – including the Spam! This means that your email account is essentially sending Spam to your other email account. If a company like Yahoo! detects a lot of Spam coming from a single source, in this example your email account, they will blacklist that source.
• Can I still receive my email from home?
  
  • Yes! If you would like to receive your email from home or other places you can use Webmail. Every email account on our servers has access to webmail.
  • The link to webmail is: http://webmail.YOURDOMAINNAMEHERE.com.
• I want to receive my email on Yahoo! or Gmail – I don’t like webmail.
  
  • Yahoo! and Gmail provide the ability for users to access other email accounts while still using the Yahoo! or Gmail service. Here are some links to the Yahoo! and Gmail pages that explain how to set the email accounts up.
