With more and more people using the Internet as a primary communication tool it is important that your church has an effective email solution.

What NOT to do

• Do not use your ISP email accounts. (eg congregation@bigpond.net.au or congregation@optusnet.com.au)

Using email addresses from your ISP can cause problems in the future. The broadband market is very competitive so it is likely that a Church may have different providers. If you use an ISP email you cannot take it with you when you change.
