Forwarding

- create a lifetime e-mail address (e.g.,
xxxxxx@bigfoot.com)
- registration information options: private, screen, or public
- forward up to 50 messages per day (file attachments, up to 3MB)

WebMail, E-mail Alerts, and Bigfoot Anti-SPAM

Caution. A basic e-mail

server configuration. Therefore, these no cost accounts accept and
forward unsolicited commercial messages (a.k.a., "spam") that include
an approximation of your actual username.
