| | 57 | In addition to the relays listed above which are designed for bulk email, we also have relays called "nospam." The server a different purpose. The nospam relays are for relaying email messages on behalf of our MOSH'es. MOSH'es relay the following email: |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | * Forwarding email addresses. An MF/PL user can configure their email address to forward to another address, onsite or offsite. |
| | 60 | * Auto responder. An MF/PL user can configure an auto-response every time they receive an email message |
| | 61 | * Web generated email. A web site (e.g. Drupal or WordPress) often sends email, such as password reminders (or massive amounts of spam if it is compromised). NOTE: CiviCRM or web sites designed to send mass email should be specially configured to relay via bulk.mayfirst.org) |
| | 62 | |
| | 63 | All three kinds of email have a very large spam ratio and often cause the sending server to be blocked. As a result, the nospam relay is designed to drop all email with a spamassassin score of 5 or above. Note: ''it should only be used to relay less important email.'' Our typically policy is never to discard spam and let the user have the option of reviewing it. The nospam relay is a compromise of this principle to ensure consistent deliverability. |
