The routing
It arrives where you
already read your mail.
We point your new address at the inbox you use now. Gmail, Outlook, whatever it is —
mail addressed to johan@viljoen.co.za turns up there, alongside
everything else.

Nothing moves. Your existing mail stays exactly where it is. There is no second inbox to check and no new password to keep.
When you reply, it goes out from your ordinary address, not your Viljoen one.

Ask for a mailbox
Upgrading keeps the same address. The mailbox goes behind the name you already have.

Practical questions
The things people
ask first.
Is it really free, or free for now?
Really free. Forwarding mail costs us almost nothing, so we can give it away. We earn from the people who go on to want a mailbox they can send from.
Do I have to be a Viljoen?
It helps, but no. If the name means something to you — family, marriage, your mother's side — that is reason enough.
What happens to my current address?
Nothing at all. This is not a replacement. Mail sent to your Viljoen address simply arrives in the inbox you already use, next to everything else.
Can I reply from it or not?
Not on the free tier. Replies go out from your ordinary address and the recipient sees that. Sending as johan@viljoen.co.za needs a real mailbox.
Someone already has the name I want.
First come, first served — but ask anyway. There is usually a good second choice, and we will go through the options with you.
Why is there no card form here?
We do not want card details anywhere near this website. If you upgrade, we email a link that goes straight to PayFast. We never see or store your card.
What if I stop using it?
We ask once a year whether you still want it. Answer, and it runs another year. If we hear nothing and mail stops reaching you, we warn you before releasing it. A name that has been used is retired, never handed to somebody else.
Who is running this?
Safeman Solutions, a South African business. The domain belongs to the Viljoen family. You can reach a person at support@viljoen.co.za.
