New page

; you have a quota : too bad you can't find out how close you are to overrunning it!
; sending mail : you may send mail through mail.freegeek.org as a SMTP server if you do so within a few hours of signing in to check your mail.
; how to change your password : ask an [[ASS]] in person.
; your address plus : mail addressed to "whoyouis+stuff@freegeek.org" will get delivered just the same as mail to "whoyouis@freegeek.org". You might use this feature to give different addresses to different sign-up services.
; spam filtering : if you create a mail folder called "Spam", stuff caught by our spam filtration system will end up in it. We provide no interface for customizing or tuning the spam filter.
; other things we do to your mail : virus filter, etc. that stuff probably doesn't even make it in to the "Spam" folder. I don't know.
; other limits on mail : is there a per-message size limit?
; things we don't support yet : SMTP AUTH or SMTP over SSL.

		+	== kenny's notes (from ass email list) ==
		+
		+	Awesome! Thanks Pete.
		+
		+	Since you are much better than I at getting things across in an easy to
		+	understand way, I'll let you work in the following comments in whatever
		+	way seems appropriate to you (or not at all);
		+
		+
		+	"Home Computer..."
		+
		+	People using their home computer to send mail as bob@freegeek.org should
		+	use a freegeek.org SPF authorized mailer (such as mail.freegeek.org).
		+	This is merely encouraged now, but may be required later.
		+
		+
		+	"You can actually use Free Geek's SMTP server from anywhere..."
		+
		+	If you go to a coffee shop that blocks outgoing SMTP, you will not be
		+	able send mail with mail.freegeek.org just as you wouldn't be able to
		+	use your regular ISP's SMTP server.
		+
		+
		+	"NOTE: IP addresses are sometimes..."
		+
		+	SMTP client sites authorized by pop-before-smtp are not subjected to RBL
		+	tests. So if you are connecting from a spam host, as long as you log
		+	in, you will be able to relay. (And so can everyone else using the same
		+	IP).
