email question ....

ok so im getting spam, lots of spam (and not the monty python type), anyway i would like to black hole it  , but i have a problem, the email setting will let me black hole (redirect or anything i want) on email address xxxxxx@myusername.f9.co.uk , but my set up was under forc9.co.uk. so i cant set a black  hole address as it wont let me specify force9 in place of F9 ,, can anyone at f9/force9/plusnet help ?

Re: email question ....

Any redirects/mailboxes you set up will work on username.f9.co.uk and username.force9.co.uk as well as any domains on your account. Simply go through the redirect process as normal and this should work for you.

Re: email question ....

Anything you have set up for prefixes on username.force9.co.uk will apply exactly the same way to any domains you have hosted.
If you have created mailboxes (or aliases/redirects) for bill and fred say, and then said blackhole everything else on your account, you will only receive emails for bill@mydomain.co.uk and fred@mydomain.co.uk, everything else will be blackholed.
I suggest you send yourself test emails to make sure it is all working as expected.
