email forwarding
Posted by w0kf on: Thursday 21 February @ 11:43:56
 
The following message regarding email forwarding by the TCRC web page was recently received from Kevin Uhler, NØBEL, our technical committee chair.


I need to disable email forwarding for callsign@tcrc.org for a few days. Recently the amount of spam being recieved by these addresses has increased quite a bit. Since there is no spam checking at this time before the email is fowarded on, it makes it appear like my servers are generating spam.

Today, I'm going to turn off tcrc.org email forwarding until I can install spam filtering into the forwarding process this weekend.

After I turn it back on, there is a possibility of some legitimate emails being tagged as spam and never being forwarded.
