[04] WHAT IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS HERE?
|
|
|
|
The default is:
|
|
|
|
yourlogin@sdf.org
|
|
|
|
You are welcome to use:
|
|
|
|
yourlogin@freeshell.org
|
|
|
|
Its really your preference. All of these have MX (Mail Exchangr)
|
|
records pointing to our SMTP server, so you'll get mail all the
|
|
same by using either of them.
|
|
|
|
You may also apply tags to your email address between your login ID
|
|
and the @ sign. This is useful to determine where you've given out
|
|
specific email addresses to, such as for mailing lists. In this case
|
|
your address could look something like this:
|
|
|
|
yourlogin+job-search@sdf.org
|
|
|
|
The tag above is '+job-search' and could be useful if you are posting
|
|
a resume online which you know could generate spam later. If you did
|
|
start receiving spam at that address, as an ARPA member, you could use
|
|
procmail to filter out all email to that address and discard it.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: No matter what machine you login in to, your address
|
|
always defaults to yourlogin@sdf.org. There are a number
|
|
of other domains listed here, most of which are only available to
|
|
ARPA members as their URL. However, these URL domains can be used
|
|
for email address with a VPM membership.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in having, say 'grog@sixbit.org' as your
|
|
email address rather than say 'groggy@grog.sixbit.org', you can
|
|
do this by using the 'setvmail' command as a MetaARPA member.
