Special Note: for people who have an email address hosted by another Email Server or web site, such as yourname@yourdomain.com, ie) jim@smithcompany.com. You may substitute the email and reply email address with jim@smithcompany.com but you will have to know the name of your incoming email server (pop) and you will have to know the Incoming Mail Server User Name login, but you will still use smtp.ctsmail.net as your outgoing mail server (SMTP) and xxxxxxx portion of xxxxxxx@ctsmail.net as your outgoing Mail server user login name.
FOR LAPTOP or REMOTE USERS: If you travel or wish to access your ctsmail account from a a dial up method you will need to change your outgoing mail server and outgoing Mail User Name (login) to the one provided by the ISP that is providing you with your internet connection. For an explanation of why we do this see email SPAMMING below.
EMAIL SPAMMING and RELAYING: Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. Relaying is when somebody uses an outgoing mail server to to spam. To prevent email relaying we also look at the IP address of the connection requesting to send email via our server. If your ip-address is not with in the class of ip’s defined by our “Always on Internet” then we will not allow you to make a connection. Thus when you make a dial up connection via another ISP it is that ISP who is providing you with an ip-address and thus the responsibility of that ISP to provide you with outgoing mail services, though we will still allow you to read and retrieve your messages on the incoming mail sever of mail.ctsmail.net If you would like more information on spamming check out this web site .http://spam.abuse.net/.
