Generally, with “e-mail forwarding”, you have two options: “Catch All” or specific e-mail forwarding addresses. There are pros and cons to each: PRO: With “Catch All”, if someone sends an e-mail with anything before the “@” sign, it will still get forwarded to your main e-mail account. This is especially beneficial if someone misspells your name in your e-mail address, because the message will still get forwarded to you. For example, if someone sends an email to: "John_Do@yourdomain.com" instead of "John_Doe@yourdomain.com" it would still get delivered. CON: "Catch All" e-mails are more susceptible to being SPAMMED because SPAMMERS can easily get a list of domain names and just put common words like "info" or "contact" in front of the "@yourdomain.com" expecting that many of their solicitations will get delivered. SUGGESTION: Use a "Catch All", but only advertise a single e-mail address. This way if someone misspells the word before the "@" sign, it will still get through to you. And, if you find yourself getting too much SPAM with other words being used before the "@" sign, you can always switch back to a single e-mail forwarding address using that single word. This way you'll be able to stop the SPAM and won't have to worry about missing e-mails from all the other e-mail addresses you might have advertised. Another tip, if you're not using a "catch all", is to avoid common words that SPAMMERS use to SPAM domain names. For example, "info@yourdomain.com", "webmaster@yourdomain.com" or "sales@yourdomain.com". You may want to use something less common, like your first name (ex., "Jim@yourdomain.com"). This way if someone sends SPAM to "info@yourdomain.com" it will NOT clutter up your inbox. There are still lots of good “.com” domain names available. Take your time looking for those that are just right for you… and grab them while you still can! (c) Copyrighted by: www.iPodiums.Biz 责任编辑：米尊 |
