<h4>Greylisting</h4>
<p>Your box using a technique called greylisting to cut down on spam. Greylisting works by delaying mail from people you haven&rsquo;t received mail from before for up to about 10 minutes. The vast majority of spam gets tricked by this. If you are waiting for an email from someone new, such as if you are registering on a new website and are waiting for an email confirmation, please give it up to 10-15 minutes to arrive.</p>
<p>Your box uses a technique called greylisting to cut down on spam. Greylisting works by initially rejecting mail from people you haven&rsquo;t received mail from before. Legitimate mail servers will attempt redelivery shortly afterwards, but the vast majority of spam gets tricked by this. If you are waiting for an email from someone new, such as if you are registering on a new website and are waiting for an email confirmation, please be aware there will be a minimum of 3 minutes delay, depending how soon the remote server attempts redelivery.</p>
<h4>+tag addresses</h4>
<p>Every incoming email address also receives mail for <code>+tag</code> addresses. If your email address is <code>you@yourdomain.com</code>, you&rsquo;ll also automatically get mail sent to <code>you+anythinghere@yourdomain.com</code>. Use this as a fast way to segment incoming mail for your own filtering rules without having to create aliases in this control panel.</p>
