At this writing in January 2012, there are thousands of email accounts on AOL, Aim.com, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Web.de, etc. that have been hacked.

No big deal? Just think what your friends' opinion of you will be when you have to tell them your account was hacked.

There are different ways to setup our spam-free email service.  Yes you can be a Verizon customer, a Comcast customer, an SBC customer, a Wireless customer - and still benefit with an email account @1usa.com

Advice about Email:

The headers of an email contain:
- a From-Address
- a MailFrom address
- a Return-Path address
- a Reply-To address
- the Received line of the email server that sent the email to you
- the Received line of the person who sent the email to that mail server
- and a SPF Line indicating whether an email originates from an authentic mail server (on advanced mail servers)

 

So when you receive an email that could be a fake, remember to check these Headers before responding.


Customers who use Email service by www.1usa.com do not receive the above fake emails in their In-Box when there's a Mis-Match. There is a step in there to verify the sender before letting the email into the In-Box. Doing so will eliminate 90% of unwanted email - aka Spam.

Since 2002, there is an RFC (specification) for DomainKeys (used by Yahoo and Gmail) and Sender-Policy-Framework (SPF) used by most companies & ISPs, including 1USA.Com


If you receive emails from YOUR OWN ACCOUNT or domain name that didn't originate from your authorized mail server, then your account/domain isn't protected by SPF.
