Question :

I have just signed up a hosting account and setup email accounts. I wish to forward all my emails to my comcast.net email account, it doesn’t work. Any suggestions on how to fix this ?

 Answer :

Please avoid forward your emails to a comcast.net address. Forwarding doesn’t filter out any of the spam. So, the Comcast servers see a load of spam coming from your mail servers, and blacklist them. Then, none from the server can send mail to comcast.net addresses until the blacklisting gets lifted. But then, it just happens all over again.

There is absolutely no reason for forwarding email from your server. If you want to receive all your mail elsewhere then redirect the MX record. If not then simply set up your email program to retrieve from your host as well as where ever else you get mail. Most email programs can handle retrieving emails from as many millions of email accounts as you have.

Forwarding emails means that you run the risk of having the receiving account supplier misidentifying your server as a spammer source and then neither you nor anyone else with accounts on your server will be able to send mail to that email accounts with that supplier.

CPanel hosts comes with a Spam filtering tool call Spamassasin. This tool is suppose to filter spam emails for you but it is usually not useful enough when you have hundreds or even thousands of spam emails everyday.

 My website has been around for 6 years and I am getting slightly over thousand of spam emails everyday, that is  almost 1 spam email every minute !

 I have recently created a GMAIL account and forward all my emails in my mailbox to the gmail account. Thanks to Gmail spam filtering technology, I got only 1 or 2 spam email reach me everyday.

 This is how you can do it :-

i) Login to your hosting account control panel.

ii) Click on email forwarder.

iii) Create a email forwarder for your email account and forward to your gmail account.

iv) Check your emails from Gmail.com and no more spam.

Good luck.
