Well, your action may be considered as a computer crime and you might face civil suit and fines or/and you might even face criminal suit and penalty.

So far, there are two things that you can do to prevent you from getting trouble with these laws.

First, make sure that you never send email that contains material or link to material which is illegal for minors. This is so obvious, right?

Second, if you think that you can't comply with first option, then you can purge your list by matching it against registries in a regular basis. But there are fees for this.

Don't panic about these laws. Instead, find more information about it. You can start learning more about these laws by visiting references below:

Set up for new ISP

DISplay Name: steve

Email Address: steve@newISp.com

Reply address: steve@mydomain.com

Notice that in either case reply address is same and it is your lifetime or permanent address. Anyone replying to email from you will reply to reply address (steve@mydomain.com). You will need then to make arrangements with your email address provider to forward this email to your new mailbox.

Email Forwarding

Email forwarding allows you to continue to use an existing email address e.g. an email account provided by your lifetime email address provider steve@mydomain.com regardless of which ISP (Internet service provider) you use.

If we continue example of oldISP and newISP then any email messages that are sent to steve@mydomain.com need to be forwarded to either oldISP address or newISP address

oldISP

Your ISP or email provider is oldISp your email address and physical mailbox is steve@oldISp.com.

You arrange with lifetime email address provider (usually you do it yourself through a control panel) to forward email sent to steve@mydomain.com to your mailbox steve@oldISp.com.

newISP

You then decide to change your ISP or email provider to newISp your new email address and physical mailbox is now steve@newISp.com.

You now arrange with lifetime email address provider (usually you do it yourself through a control panel) to forward email sent to steve@mydomain.com to your mailbox steve@newISp.com.

Catch-All Email Addresses

A catch all address is a special case of email forwarding. With a catch all email address then all email sent to anyone@yourdomain.com will be forwarded to a single mailbox.

info@yourdomain.com-----> Mailbox1

sales@yourdomain.com -----> Mailbox1

admin@yourdomain.com -----> Mailbox1

When retrieving email you only need to connect to mailbox1 to retrieve email sent to any of addresses.
