Hosting companies must stop forwarding email - or else.
Companies that offer email hosting service have seen quite a few changes over the years. Compared to years ago, spam is obviously more of a problem for everyone that uses email. To combat spam, we have employed special technologies on our network, and we have also used on-demand filtering services to pre-filter spam email before it comes into our network. Clients LOVE this service, because we are able to stop over 98% of spam before it gets to our customer’s mailboxes. While filtering spam has been has made email much more enjoyable, there are still other threats that can affect email delivery and spam. The biggest problems are mail-forwarding and catch-alls. In this post, I will explain what these are, and why they are so bad for email hosting providers. These two types of email accounts used to be OK to provide, but we have had to completely eliminate email forwarding over the last year. In speaking with other email hosting companies, I have discovered they have all had to make the same change, or are planning to. Find out why after the jump.
