LINUX.COM Email Address

itbcn8

Hi, Quick question,

I just became a member of the Linux Foundation, payed my fees, got my @linux.com email etc... And then I realize that the email is just a vanity email, that I can't actually REPLY from @linux.com... Is that right?

For example, I have my @linux.com set up to forward to my ymail, which is fine, but then when I hit reply it replies from Ymail not Linux.com...

Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of having this new email address?? Is there any way to solve this? If not I think I just got RIPPED OFF by the linux foundation.........

refund please....

Although your @linux.com address is a forwarding service you can send mail as "youralias@linux.com" by changing or adding an outgoing email address. Most mail clients including many of the web based mail services allow you to do this.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Ymail but very likely there is a way to do this. We have hundreds of users who actively send and receive using their @linux.com alias.

If you wish to discuss this further or to request the cancellation and refund of your membership please email mebershipservices@linuxfoundation.org.

Oh cool.
Ymail is Yahoo mail, I'm not sure if I can send from a custom address... But I do use desktop clients more and more so I can try that.

Thanks for your help.

The instructions for setting a replyto address in yahoo mail is at http://email.about.com/od/yahoomailtips/qt/et_reply_to.htm

If you can list your client app then we may be able to point you to the settings to set the replyto address.

I've had a Linux address since 2010 and I just sent it a test message today as I noticed I wasn't getting any emails from that address anymore.. here is the Postfix error I recently received:

Linux does not allow me to browse the internet and access any site: it declares even sites like Google as insecure. What is the problem and how does one solve it?

Chandrasekharan... your post has nothing to do with this thread. The previous post is nearly 5 years old. Please start your own thread.

I too would like to send on behalf of my linux.com email address. When trying to add it to my Gmail Suite I am getting the following error:
You must send through linux.com SMTP servers when you send as @linux.com

I get the following error too.

Functionality not enabled.
You must send emails through linux.com SMTP servers when you send as *********@linux.com. However, this functionality is not available for your account. Please contact your domain administrator for more information.

Please help!
