Title: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: Blizzard on February 24, 2011, 12:45:41 pm
I was considering of doing this some time ago, but every host CP was hosted at had only a limited amount of mailboxes available. This has changed. :D

If you want your own your_name_here@chaos-project.com e-mail address, just post in this topic. You will get an inbox of 20 MB, you don't need more. Why? It's simple, you will only use the address, not the space on the server. You can easily set up either your mail client application (such as Outlook) or an your online application (such as GMail) to receive and send e-Mails with an alternative address.

Information:
Host: mail.chaos-project.com
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
SSL: no

You can also use SSL if you feel safer that way:
Host: mail.chaos-project.com
Protocol: POP3S
Port: 995
SSL: yes

Don't forget to configure your mail application to delete the messages from your @chaos-project.com inbox.
e.g. GMail has the option called "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server.", simply turn it off.

How to configure a program to access your new e-Mail address (https://www2.suresupport.com/faq.php/34)

You can also access the webmail directly (e.g. in case you want to change your password or other options). The address is http://webmail.chaos-project.com.

Wow, that's awesome! I would like to have one :D!

What are Protocol and SSL?
Title: Re: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: Blizzard on February 24, 2011, 01:22:41 pm
SSL is short for Secure Socket Layer. It allows you to access your mail in a secure way by encrypting the communication between your PC and the mail server.

A "protocol" is a set of rules for proper communication between two entities (e.g. a client and a server). e.g. RMX-OS has a simple protocol to manage communication between clients and the server as well.

What do you want your mail name to be? Just sbr(at)chaos-project(dot)com?

When I can't use the 'star', I commonly use sbrs (sbrSTAR). I don't know if it's called a 'star' in English though. I have heard you can call it an 'asterisk' too? I don't really know why my username is SBR* anyway; I made it up a loooooooong time ago and I haven't changed it since then. I have considered calling myself Wave though.

If you can call it a 'star' in English, I would like sbrs@chaos-project.com. If you can't, I have to rethink.

Actually it is asterisk, but that's only plain technical. In my language we call it star rather than asterisk.

I have 4 addresses. One is my GMail, one is my CP address (which I am switching over to be my main), one is the address I use to circumvent registrations on sites I don't care for and the last one is my Cateia address from which I reply when giving user support. You obviously don't use multiple addresses. Don't cry, one day you, too, will use more than one e-Mail.

I actually have about 6 of them, one on my own domain, and then some for my music projects and some for registrations. Besides, I can make as many adresses on my domain as well.. So meh, you failed.

gameguy@chaos-project.com

Not sure if your host allows it, but can you have redirect emails? Have it gameguy@chaos-project.com but really send it to a different email? If so, you should have my email redirect to blocker222@gmail.com. I <3 Blizz

Post by: Blizzard on February 25, 2011, 02:33:48 am
@G_G: What Ryex said. I'd like to avoid mail forwarding and you can retrieve the mails with your GMail account. Just go to Settings->Accounts and Import and add another email address. The useful thing here is that you can also send mails from your GMail using your CP address.
Title: Re: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: G_G on February 25, 2011, 03:17:05 am
Alright. Thanks blizz.

EDIT: Setup thunderbird, got the gameguy email setup. Went to my gmail and setup the send and receive options with the gameguy email. However when I send an email to gameguy isn't it only supposed to send it through the gmail? Thunderbird was still picking it up.
Title: Re: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: Blizzard on February 25, 2011, 05:32:43 am
Did you set up Thunderbird to connect to GMail's or CP's mailbox? It's possible that is happens via first-come-first-served. If you let Thunderbird fetch the mail and leave a copy on the server, then GMail can fetch it as well.
Title: Re: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: G_G on February 25, 2011, 08:31:53 am
I setup CP with thunderbird because I had to click a link to verify that the email was mine. Its also possible that GMail deletes it sometime after Gmail gets it.
Title: Re: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: Blizzard on February 25, 2011, 09:44:42 am
Then it might be better if you just let GMail fetch the mail and let Thunderbird then fetch it from GMail.

So, somebody got their account hacked and an @cp mail was used to send out spam. Now our host has suspended the mailing service until I change ALL passwords. This completely defeats the purpose of actually having an @cp mail since it basically means each time somebody gets hacked, everybody's mailbox has to be fucked up.

Since not many people are using it anyway, I will delete accounts that have an empty inbox. I will PM a new password to the rest of you. That includes:



Following accounts of inactive members with non-empty inboxes will be deleted:

Feel free to delete mine as well Blizzard. I remember at one point one of them was so filled with spam. Sorry about that, I honestly don't know how that happened.
Title: Re: you@chaos-project.com
Post by: Blizzard on October 26, 2015, 02:18:19 pm
The problem isn't that they're filled with spam. The problem was that spam was sent using them.
Don't worry, it wasn't your account. It was "lazyv".

Hmm, I'm really not sure how my account would be hacked, but I do know at some point i was getting spam. I just deleted it and havent gotten any in a long time. I also haven't even used my account for a while except for the occasional check of mail from league of legends lol. Any idea whose account it was?
