Do you have to setup the addresses, or can you just give someone an address
and it'll work if the users software does not bounce it?
This can be handy to track who gives out your email address.

Are any plusnet newsgroups available to outside users, like demons are?
Seriously considering plusnet rather than demon for ADSL, and not only
due to price.

Hi Ian,

We don't propagate our Newsgroups externally, however you can view
them via our Web Interface at
http://portal.plus.net/central.html?action=newusenet using the
username and password of "guest" and "guest". Our web based discussion
forums are also available from the portal and can be viewed using the
same method.

With regard to email setup, the support page at
http://tinyurl.com/nbol explains everything, but in short you can use
multiple email addresses in just the way you have suggested without
having to configure each one. This is very useful for tracking who is
using your email address and is a technique practised by many of our
users, with some occasionally interesting results!

With Regards,

Ian

Our exchange goes live with broadband in just over 2 months, and I am
seriously considering PlusNet.

I am considering signing up now, and getting referals from other people
I know looking for IPS's.

The only thing stopping me is that it's still a couple of months away,
and what may be the best deal today, may not be the best deal tommorow.
If I register with plusnet, obviously the do not start charging until
my exchange goes live, but suposing that they drop the prices, or change
their services somehow, will be be "locked" onto what I signed up for,
even thou it has technically not started....

Ian, why, when I try your url link do I get the following message:

THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
You have reached this page after typing a V3 URL that was in conflict
with our Terms &Conditions. This account has been disconnected.

Please refrain from further complains about this single account. The
account has been disconnected and we have done everything we could to
stop the abuse.


Have you been a naughty boy??

It's a grandfathered account, created back when they were free, and
you could have one-word i.ams.
Actually, it may just be they finally turned it off for non-payment.
Last time I paid I had to hack the HTML of the form to get it to
accept one word entries.
I think that must be a couple of years ago now at least.

Oddly, I'm still getting email through the reflector, looking at the list
for today, offers of penis enlargment, breast enlargment, viagra, high heels,
and Glucosamine.

I really don't want to think about who'd need them all.
