When you click on the link, depending on your browser settings, you may see an option for saving or simply viewing the PDF document. If you have trouble with this step, please contact your IT department.

Whether you save or view the PDF, you will see something like the example below when opening the document.

After that, you will need to add necessary forwarders at the command line.
The contents of the file should look like this:
This is the format
Email address to forward: Email address receiving the message
someone@mydomain.com: myotheraddress@myisp.net
*: “:fail: No Such User Here”
Make sure you test!

Gmail is temporarily blocking messages from connectnc.net email addresses. Within the last week, a connectnc.net user account was compromised and used to attempt to send nearly 10,000 spam messages, a large number of which reached gmail users.
We’ve notified Google that the issue was discovered and rectified. Their policy is to wait a number of days to make sure the event is not still ongoing. We’ve been working with a third party to repair the damage the spammer caused to the domain name as well.
For this reason, we are asking connectnc.net users to update your email passwords immediately.
This method will only work for customers who use a connectnc.net email account.
To cut down on the volume of messages sent to gmail, we are also temporarily disabling forwarding. If you need to check your connectnc.net email from gmail, please follow their directions for accessing your connectnc.net account:
We apologize for the issue. We know how frustrating it is.
Thanks for your patience & understanding while we work to correct this problem.
Stay well,
Beth Morgan

It’s important that you don’t ignore this warning. The insecure versions of PHP won’t be receiving any patches or updates. They are vulnerable to exploits.
Why doesn’t my hosting company just update my PHP? A lot of hosting companies held off on updates until now because many sites will simply break when updated. Some WordPress themes, especially custom-coded themes, were created some years ago, while PHP 5 was still current. Some PHP syntax has changed since then, which means old code won’t function.
How will I know if my theme will break when I update PHP? You won’t know until you try it, unfortunately.
If your site was constructed more than 6 years ago, please get in touch with us to work with you to update your PHP and your theme, of needed.

Always verify the return address of an unfamiliar sender or any suspicious messages. In the image below, you can see that the return address name was forged. You can also see that there are some errors in the message body.

To change the way your name looks on messages you send in Outlook, follow these steps. We are going to assume that you’re using Windows 10.
