Be smart with email forwarding
Some of you have configured rules in your email client to automatically forward emails to tweetymail. In general, this is not a problem. In fact - it's neat to see tweetymail used to automate certain tasks like tweeting Google Calendar reminders.
However, it has come to our attention that some users have configured some... "not so smart"... forwarding rules. For example, you should not forward emails that come from tweetymail right back to tweetymail! tweetymail might send you emails for a variety of reasons: your tweet failed, Twitter is down, we have an announcement to make, etc. Creating a forwarding rule that blindly forwards emails right back to the sender is a really bad idea! We also see other emails being forwarded to us that are clearly not intended to be posted on Twitter.In some cases, a bad forwarding rule can lead to massive amounts of messages and possibly even an infinite back and forth loop. Obviously, such behavior is a threat to the service and we will not hesitate to suspend or permanently ban user accounts.
If you use email forwarding rules, please take a moment to review those rules and ensure that you are only forwarding relevant emails to tweetymail. If you notice that you have a bad forwarding rule... no worries. Please just fix it before it can cause more trouble!
Thanks and let us know if you have any questions.
