Hello@Example.com / hello@example.com
Technically these are different email addresses, however, you are probably OK.
The domain part of the email address (example.com) is not case-sensitive. So "ExaMple.com" is the same as "example.com". However, the recipient (local-part) is potentially case-sensitive, so "Hello" is different to "hello". Having said that, ...

I built a free, open-source, encrypted, and private solution at https://github.com/niftylettuce/forward-email. This service does not store logs, it is completely private and simply acts as a proxy. No email is ever stored on the server, it's all proxied in memory to the recipient's mail server (view the source on GitHub if you'd like to learn more about ...

I have tried this solution
http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/19043/how-to-set-up-email-forwarding-for-your-domain-using-mailgun
So far, it seems to work for me even though my domain is still not yet verified. (Still in the early 24-48 hours to verify the MX records etc)
Basically the solution is to use mailgun and setup the email forwarding using their ...

From, "How do I know if I’m on a SPAM Blacklist?"
MXToolbox is free. Enter the email service IP addresses and mxtoolbox checks about 100 blacklists.
DNSStuff is an inexpensive (almost free) service where you can check 97 blacklists. Includes other DNS and network tools too.
(Domain Name System Blacklist). Free service. Checks about 80 blacklists.

It is valid because test could be a top-level domain and localpart@top-level-domain is a valid email address.

I have had server IP's blacklisted by Microsoft a few times and I have had them removed reasonably quickly. I noticed that after entering and joining anti spam related services that they recommend it was faster and easier.
I recommend that you ensure that you can reply Yes to the below questions (except the last one) in the web form where you ask for ...

Using Base64 encoded images will not bypass image blocking in email clients.
It was a known technique used by spammers, and therefore no better than linking to remote files. A test from 2008 by Ron Blaisdell of the Email Marketer's Club (available here), showed the results of sending an email containing Base64 encoded images in the popular clients:

people

book changes
Works for users who don't have an e-mail address or e-mail client on
their computer
Can append website usage stats and other user information to the
e-mail
No chance for the user to ...

Computers, mobiles and tablets can send fax's with software, its just like sending an email, it was added to rfc2086 15 years ago but it never took off and as far as I know no major browsers support href="fax:" they do however support href="tel:" that can be used just the same to send a fax using software.

I would recommend you to install and enable Akismet: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not and lets you review the spam it catches under your blog's "Comments" admin screen.

They search for and fill in every form they can find. They're looking for any vulnerability that they can exploit for their gain. It might be to see if they can gain access to your site or web server. It can be to compromise your form to send out spam.
It's worth their time to do because it's all automated. They just set their bots free and let them go ...

Google Analytics allows you to set the default date range to the the last 7, 14, 28, or 30 days. You can access this setting from the User Settings which is found in the "Overflow Menu" (vertical three dots):
In addition, some people have noticed that if you bookmark a specific set of dates, those dates end up in the URL. Unfortunately, if you create a ...

One purpose is to help protect domains from incidental spam. A good practice by many large companies that have emails generated by users (either directly or via actions taken online) is to have the emails send through a completely different domain, generally from a different IP range to that of your main servers. In this way someone flagging emails as spam ...

The short answer is that email client developers don't have a strong business case to support web standards in their products. Their products are designed and sold as plain text or rich text person-to-person communication tools, not as mass-marketed HTML intrays.
The original web standards movement
The longer answer is that it took a huge effort from some ...

You can just use https://forwardemail.net. I made it completely open-source, free, encrypted, and private. There's a section on "How it works" on the website, along with a FAQ and list of features. You can even "Send Mail As" using Gmail.

The technique used to work out if an email has been opened or not is to put a tracker image with a unique identifier in the request URL so your server can log that the email has been at least viewed. This image is normally just a 1x1px square that is invisible to the end user. The src of the image will be something like tracker.php?user_id=1312, then on ...

I suggest that you use your existing email while registering a domain name. When you complete the domain registration process, most domain providers send domain info, account activation links, invoice & billing info to email address which you put in during registration.
Once you create account and register domain then you can easily create new email ...

Yes, different email obfuscation methods do work with varying degrees
of success.
But each has to be weighed with whether they affect the ability for your customers to communicate easily with you. I wouldn't want to be
losing any business just because a user finds it annoying or time
consuming to contact me. It would be a particularly persistent

See this article about CSS in emails. Most mail clients don't support a head element in HTML emails, so non-inline CSS is out. This means you can't use CSS3's @font-face to declare custom fonts.
However, you can specify fallback fonts by separating multiple fonts with commas. For example:
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

Hotmail, which is operated under Outlook.com now, is provided by Microsoft. You can request they remove your IP address by completing the form here (this may require signing up for Outlook.com first).
It will take a few days for them to investigate the report, and if your IP address was not associated with sending Spam, you'll receive an email back from ...

nathangiesbrecht said in comments:
Mostly because many e-mail clients have really lousy support for modern HTML. While table-based layouts are incredibly old-school, most e-mail clients will display them properly. You also want to keep your CSS all in-line as many e-mail clients strip out any other CSS (think web e-mail clients, and the problems an e-mail ...

We did two things:
Sign up with JMRP via https://postmaster.live.com/snds/JMRP.aspx
Sign up with SNDS via http://postmaster.live.com/snds
The JMRP application will go through a form and a document you need to sign. In our case it took about two days to get approved.
Make sure that your SPF/DKIM/DMARC is setup correctly - we are using Port25 and their ...

Short Answer: You're seeing internally routed emails in your DMARC reports, for recipient domains hosted on Google GSuite.
From the screenshot you share, it seems like these emails sent from Google servers are actually allowed through, based on DKIM signing for your domain (100% DMARC compliance), while failing SPF alignment with your domain.

Not possible. There's nothing connecting a random URL to some global directory of e-mail addresses assigned to that domain. Or for the company, for that matter: some companies don't even use their "public" domain name for e-mail purposes.
The best you could do here is to scrape the site for any e-mail addresses in its content, but that would only provide ...

I know this is an old thread, but the problem with 1and1 not allowing SPF records still exists, so I wanted to share my solution to the problem. 1and1 will allow you to use an external DNS server, and we chose GoDaddy.com Premium DNS for only $36/year. It's easy to set up the records (with a little help from tech support -- the configuration is called an Off-...

It's probably just backscatter from spammers using your domain in their bogus sender addresses. Perhaps some spammer just happened to add your domain to a list of bogus sender domains to use.
There's not much that can be done about such messages, except to filter them out. I would recommend adding an SPF record for your domain, but it looks like you ...

Most SMTP servers are fine with uppercase characters. However, some do differentiate between upper and lower case characters in the recipient part. The domain part is case insensitive.
For example, google mail does not differentiate between upper and lower case recipients.
I recommend you check with the concerned server admin or leave them a question to ...

What is the best email address for a personal website with my name as the .com domain name? [closed]
There is no 'best email address'. There are only options, with little to separate them beyond personal preference.
me@example.com and hello@example.com are both popular, although generic addresses carry slight disadvantages over named addresses such as yourname@example.com, namely:
A generic address may attract more spam than an address using a name (...
