Beware your email list being used by spammers.

You’ve received it, you don’t want it, you don’t understand who it’s from or what it’s about. So just press Delete. Or, if you want to recognise, report or block some of the offensive, fraudulent or just plain annoying email that very occasionally gets through GreenNet’s anti-spam systems (or that you’ve come across with other email providers), here is a rundown of the main types.

There are two ways of accessing your GreenNet email account on the web.

Why you should let us look after your mail server

A minor point for system administrators using GreenNet as an outgoing server.

Kmail is an email client that comes as part of the KDE desktop environment on Linux, in for example Kubuntu. There are a few default options on kmail that should be changed.

Here are some technical remarks about email transport issues

GreenNet uses an effective anti-spam method called greylisting. Occasionally it may cause delays or even bounces emailing someone at GreenNet. However, in most cases this should be resolved at the sending server.

If you are having your email forwarded from GreenNet to you via SMTP,  we recommend you restrict the range of servers your local office mail server accepts mail from.   This restriction may be implemented in a firewall or in your mail server, to prevent malicious email servers or spammers connecting directly to your system.
