Hi,
I received a message from my hosting provider, IONOS which appears to
state that they are banning the use of Identities.
Having drilled down through the various layers of their message, I
reached the following link, which pertains to users of Thunderbird:
https://www.ionos.co.uk/help/email/absenderadressen-aendern/checking-and-changing-your-sender-address-in-mozilla-thunderbird/
In there, it talks about deleting all identities except the default one
(the actual mailbox address).
Can anyone confirm that they are saying that Identities or Aliases may
no longer be used? If so, far from being an improvement in security, it
opens up the users to spammers and scammers from any business or website
that obtains the mailbox address. For the most part, I have studiously
avoided giving *anyone *this address for the past 30 odd years
specifically to avoid problems with spam.
Have I missed something?
