Re: The CatchAll system

[Usf]

in cathall system, I receive a lot of bouncing (spam) mail.
I suggest catchall system should set up some filter rule to control
the bouncing (spam) email.

I presume you too are a former customer of Mailshell.com, and like you
I have opted for e4ward. Although I have now learned to discipline
myself to register an alias before giving it to anyone, I support your
suggestion. It is awkward to stop in the midst of signing up on a
website to log into e4ward and register the alias.

This is the single most requested feature. With the Supporting Member
account, you can set the catchall to an address and never have to
visit the website. However, as the OP points out, its hard to keep
track of which aliases were used. We definitely plan to improve on
this.
