E-Mail Update

We are no longer recommending that alias E-Mails such as info@ or innkeeper@ be FORWARDED to ISP mail accounts such as AOL, Earthlink, Comcast, Qwest, Etc. We are finding too many occurances of lost E-Mails happening with such forwards. If you would like to change over your ISP forwarded E-Mail to a server based E-Mail service, please contact mark@acorn-is.com.
