Email Cleanup

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Null

Our email server directories will be cleaned out February 28th.

What this means…

All ham and spam folders will be completely wiped cleaned.
If you have email in either folder on your account, move it to your inbox or create a new folder to store it.

Thanks.
The Administration

Spam Bashing

Posted on March 7, 2006 by Null
