Panix Help System: Mail

Restrictons on Mail Forwarding

The restrictions below apply only to automatic forwarding. They do not apply to your decision to pass along an individual email message to one or more of your correspondents using your mail client.

Panix offers several different options for forwarding mail. Because indiscriminate forwarding implicates our servers in the spread of spam and virus/worm mail, we require spam blocking and virus protection whenever mail from Panix is forwarded to another site. (Virus checking can be implemented via webmail or via procmail.)
