About our first fastmail.com customer
Today's FastMail Weblog:
http://blog.fastmail.com/2014/10/28/...-com-customer/ Seeing as the Fastmail team are basking in the warm fuzzy glow of a successful roll-out, I thought it would be interesting to hear about the success (or not) of getting your own fastmail.COM e-mail address. Poll is anonymous. |

Thanks to this site, and robn from fastmail, who gave us a heads up when things were going to go live, I was able to get the dot com address that I wanted.
I voted that I got the preferred name that I wanted and that it was fair in how they rolled it out. I still wish that the people that had the .fm address would have gotten first dibs on the .com address, but all in all, it was handled as fairly as possible. Thanks everybody...................... |

But, In my opinion, .fm was the name you registered because the .com version wasn't available. I really don't believe all names are created equal. Until the .com version was made available, the .fm took its place. Just my opinion folks............... |

Anything other than .com is a second choice.

Mankind is a selfish beast (at best) - you can bet your bottom dollar, that those who failed to get their preferred .com address, were not entirely happy with the process, especially if they owned a .fm address that they really liked.

It was only by luck - being active on this forum, and so being aware of when the roll-out was happening - that I got my preferred fastmail.com address. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known about it. Now I have this address, and already getting spam to it, I'm wondering if there's any way (rules/sieve) to make this particular address to accept whitelist (addresses in address book) only, and reject all others? I don't get spam to my other addresses on this account, so just looking at the fastmail.com address only. |

The skip reject rules on known sender near the bottom of the screen was confusing as it didn't seem to relate (to me anyway) to the discard option near the top of the screen. |
