Why do I need an email address to sign up?

We need an email address as a primary point of contact for your account so that we can send you:

• The setup details once the account has been created
• Any quota warnings should you get close to or reach your monthly message quotas
• Username / password reminders if you should lose or forget them
• Spam complaint notifications
• Renewal notices

The email address you supply when you first sign up is not the only email address you can use to 'send' mail using the service - see Can I use AuthSMTP to send mail from multiple email addresses? for more details.
