Anlage.com e-mail alias

 

What is an e-mail alias?

An alias is a pointer to a mailbox you already have.

 

Why would I want one?

  1. The alias is a stable e-mail address. Each time you change internet service providers or jobs you get a new mailbox and a new address. Friends and business contacts have to be updated with the new info. With an alias all you have to do is change the mailbox it points to. Your e-mail alias never changes.
  2. Ease of use. you@anlage.com is a whole lot easier for you and your friends to remember than the typical e-mail address.
  3. Prestige. Having your own domain name is hot stuff. Besides, you@anlage.com is not just an e-mail address, it's who you are.

 

How does it work?

Mail addressed to the alias comes to this site and is then automatically routed to your existing mailbox. No copy of the e-mail is kept here. No one on this site can read your mail as it transits through. Using an alias does not violate the privacy of your mail.

 

Does using the alias delay my mail?

Not very much, usually by seconds, sometimes by minutes.

 

What does it cost?

If your last name is Anlage it is free.

 

How do I get an alias?

  1. Send your e-mail address along with the initials or name you want to put in front of @anlage.com to webmaster@anlage.com.
  2. Be patient. Don't bug the webmaster. I don't read my mail every day.
  3. When all is ready you will receive a message addressed to your new alias delivered to your existing mailbox.

 

Can I get more than one?

Yes. If you have several mailboxes you can get an alias for each. You can also point several aliases to a single box.

 

I don't have a mailbox, what do I do?

Some web sites will give you a mailbox in return for your name and address. You will find advertising inserted in your mail though. You will also get a lot of junk mail. hotmail.com and juno.com are two examples (this is not an endorsement of either).

 

Can I get a mailbox at anlage.com?

Sorry, all mailboxes are in use for site administration.
