| 10 | | The problem is that forwarding your email from one address to another is not a good technical solution to this problem and here's why: unlike most email providers, May First/People Link takes a strong stance against censorship. If you forward your email, we will forward ''all'' the email to the destination address. Other email providers, who have spam policies that will block all messages from servers that they think are spammers, detect that we are sending spam and will block us from delivering your email. In other words, they will refuse to delivery ''any'' email, including legitimate email, because some of the email being sent is spam. |

| | 13 | * in an effort to stop fake email messages, many providers advertise to the world which servers should be allowed to send email that claims to be from their domain name. For example, if an email claims to be from an @yahoo.co or @gmail.com address, then it ''must'' be sent from a Yahoo or Gmail server. However, if someone sends a message from a @yahoo.com or @gmail.com address to your May First account, and then ''our'' server forwards it to another provider, that provider will detect that it was ''not'' sent by Yahoo and Gmail. And, it will not get delivered. |
