ASP allows you to send emails using a functionality called CDOSYS. By creating email content and sending emails using ASP directly, you don’t have to add any extra components to your code. We recommend that you use an SMTP relay that requires authentication. Because of stringent anti-spam filters, sending mail through unauthenticated SMTP servers (including the localhost relay on Cloud Sites) can result in delays or undelivered email. Before you start using CDOSYS to send email, it’s a best practice to test your code.

Although the Premium Business Email has a constantly updated spam filter, legitimate messages may occasionally be mistaken for spam! If you find legitimate messages in your spam folder, you can whitelist (or safelist) the address, domain, or IP address so that email will be delivered to your inbox.

Premium Business Email allows you to restore a deleted mailbox within 14 days of deletion. This will restore the mailbox and all its information, in the case of an accidental deletion.

In addition to using a spam filtering program like SpamAssassin, you can use remote block lists (RBLs, also called DNSBLs) to look for spam in your incoming email. RBLs are lists of IP addresses that are associated with spam email. Your server asks an RBL if the email sender IP is on its list of spam addresses. If it is, your server’s settings can reject the message and send it back with an error, accept the message and tag it for further spam filtering, or accept the message and deliver it to your inbox.

If you have multiple email addresses, you might find it convenient to forward all your email to a single inbox. This article will walk through how to forward your email from your server and also the potential problems with forwarding your email.

Spam filters like SpamAssassin do a pretty good job of catching unwanted email. But, sometimes they catch an email you want in your inbox! If you are using SpamAssassin or another filtering program that is configured to move spam mail into a spam box automatically it might not be showing up in your webmail or email client. You have to separately subscribe to your spam folder to be able to see it.
