Do you provide any mailing list services?

Currently, we do not provide mailing list services due to the amount of
network traffic congestion they cause.

I administrate my own mail server. How can I get all mail forwarded to this server?

In order for us to point your mail services to a mail server other than our IMail server (on which POP3 accounts come with your hosting plan), you need to fax us on your web site's organizational letterhead with your name (you must be the contact on the account, or have the contact send us the fax), your contact information (including
an email address that does not end the domain name you are changing the MX record for), and domain name on the fax. Simply request on the fax that we send your email to your mail server, and provide the mail server's name (i.e., mail.insertyourdomain.com) and its IP address on the Internet. It is also very important that you sign the fax to give us permission to make a change to your domain name's MX (mail exchange) record. After we receive the fax and change your
domain name's MX record, it can take up to 24 to 48 hours for such changes to propagate throughout the Internet. Please be patient during this time, as there is nothing we can do to speed up the restart (refresh) times set on all of the name servers across the Internet.

Here are some suggestions to help you reduce the risk of losing or bouncing mail during this time: 

1.If a majority of your email comes in Monday through Friday, request that we make the change for you late in the day Friday so that the 48 hour period is over on Sunday evening. 
2.First request that we set up a secondary MX record for your mail to go to a location on your mail server. Wait two days to know that the secondary record is active. Then request that we change the primary MX record for your domain. During the two days that the primary MX record is propagating, mail will fall through to the secondary MX record, and you'll still be getting your email. 
3.Test your mail server before you request that we make the MX record change.

How can I change my contact email address on file with you ?

Just send us the request by fax or email.
