Frequently Asked Questions
What are email identities?
Email identities are memorable email addresses that are used to forward
email to recipients.
Instead of using a non-professional email address like
hibabe435@xmail.com, businesses and people can use
an email address related to a generic word or community, eg
karate@chatham.tel or toronto@paints.tel.
Identity email address are different because they uniquely identify
their user with the community they do business in,
or with a product or service they sell.

There are no specific criteria when offering your domain name for use as
an identity.
Consider length, memorability, popularity.
Generally, the more generic and shorter your domain name, the more ideal
it is for an identity.
However, surname domain, geographic and job title domains are ideal too.
How do
identities work?
Email identities forward email to the recipient. Your customer uses
their identity to send emails.
Our server forwards their email using the identity. The recipient sees
an email using a generic term like "cars".
No email is maintained on our server - it just sends email to the real
email address.
What is
community affinity?
Community affinity is a term used to help sell the concept of email
identities.
A community-centric email address helps identity a business as a member
of its local community.
You can use this to push the concept of community emails to get a
business to use an identity with your domain.
What's an
email server?
Our email server handles the forwarding

Can
subdomains be used in identities?
Yes. Subdomains can be used, and best used with shorter domain names.
Examples:
toronto@smoked.meats.tel
best@bakers.erie.tel
go@cars.ok.tel
How do I
share my domain?
toronto@smoked.meats.tel
best@bakers.erie.tel
go@cars.ok.tel
What's the generic fee breakdown?
Which domains qualify to lease identities?
Generic, geographic, surnames, jobs, "Yellow Page" ™ categories are
ideal.
Vanity domain names like @cool.tel work well also.
In most cases, the short, the better in our opinion.
What are
credits?
As the domain owner, you need to clearly state your terms of service to
your users.
When you allow identities on your domain, you are responsible for
maintaining a contractual obligation with yours users.
As providers of the email forwarding service, our obligation is to
ensure delivery of emails.
Your obligation is continuity of service during the contracted period.
However, in case you sell your domain, your users should know what to
expect.
