April 6th, 2009 Yes, our Email Hosting supports setting up autoresponders and forwarders on your accounts. In addition we allow you to setup a vacation away message to autoreply to all email that is delivered to your email account.

April 6th, 2009 We never sell your information so they did not get your email address from us. Spammers use robots to harvest email addresses from your web pages. So if you have posted on a newsgroup, bulletin board, or signed a guestbook, they could have found you that way. They also search domain name registration (WHOIS) records, harvesting the email addresses of Administrative, Technical and Billing contacts for domains so they could have found your email address that way too. Often they just guess at email addresses too. Bagful Smarter Mail Services Once they have your email address, they’ll most likely put your address along with thousands of others in the “Bcc” field of a mail. They also usually use a fake “From” address in those fields. If the fake address they use for that purpose happens to belong to someone, it usually results in a denial of service attack against the innocent person listed there, as tons of complaints and bounced mails begin flooding in to him or her. Spammers are hard to stop. If you filter one mail relay where it is coming from, they just pick up and move to another. If you filter key words in their spams, they change them. If you are too aggressive trying to keep out spam, you may end up disabling yourself from receiving legitimate mail. This problem not only affects you, but us and everyone else using the internet. What Can You Do to Stop SPAM

1. Avoid posting your real email address on websites, newsgroups, etc. If you do post publicly and want people to be able to contact you by email, you can post your email as myselfABC@domain.com and then include a note in your post to “take out the ABC to email me.”
2. Be careful about who you give your email address to and what you signup for with your email address. Giving your email address to the wrong website or company could result in it being sold in bulk to spammers.
3. Provide you very effective SPAM Control Filters with Web and Email Hosting solutions, this will stop upto 96% of SPAM but it can never be reached 100%.
4. If you receive some SPAM you can feed it to Spamcop which will tell you where it really came from and notify the admins there that they are being used to relay spam.
