Don't got a Castanet Email Account but want one? Drop Craig a line.

Email Aliases
Although you can recieve mail to your "jdoe@castanet.ca" account, it is advisable to setup aliases to the account so you can have a more user friendly email address. Aliases can be up to 25 characters long and contain any combination of letters, numbers, hypens, underscores, and periods (ie: first.lastname@castanet.ca, nick_name@castanet.ca, some-thing@castanet.ca).

Setting Up Aliases
To have an alias setup on your account, send an email to craig@castanet.ca and make sure to specify which Castanet account you would like the alias setup on and what alias you would like. Once I set it up we will send a test message to that alias to confirm it is operational.
