It is strongly recommended that you use another mailbox, such as the standard email service that vodafone supply (www.vodafonemail.co.nz - Use your pop/imap password to login to your email directly) so that you can selectively control emails being sent to the above address. This means that you can potentially control unwanted or spam messages from reaching your phone and costing you money and create filters for SMS alerts.
