Anonymous Email


Email Address Verification

Once you have registered with Match.Com, a unique email verification code is generated and is sent to your registered email address. To verify your address, you must return the entire code in the body of an email message to: autoverify@match.com. Your profile will remain hidden until your email address has been verified. Please allow some time for this process.

If you accidentally sent your verification code from the wrong email address, or if you deleted the message, don't worry! This code (beginning with V for verification) will appear on the main page AFTER you log in with your handle and password. Just copy the code from the web page and paste it into the body of an email message sent from your registered email address. Your profile will be shown as soon as email verification is complete.


Nonexistent Handle

If you are trying to send email to someone, and you receive a message that the handle does not exist:


Returned Email

Your anonymous email will be returned to you if:

Sending/Receiving Anonymous Email

Sending Anonymous Email
To send anonymous email from your own email address, please address your messages to: anon.XXX@match.com where XXX is the anonymous handle of the person you wish to contact. You can only send anonymous email from your registered email address. Your registered email address will be removed from the "From:" line of the email, so the recipient will see only your Match.Com anonymous email address.

You cannot send anonymous email through Match.Com's anonymous remailer if the address from which you are sending email doesn't match the address EXACTLY as it appears in your registration form.

If you want to send email from an email address other than your registered email address, you need to first change your registered email address. Just log in as a member and proceed to Office --> Update Registration where you can change your email address in question #3 of this form. Don't forget to select Update Registration at the end of the form once you have finished to save your changes.

Note: We do not save email sent through Match.Com, so if you want to save your email messages, save them when you receive them.

Receiving Anonymous Email
You will receive anonymous email at your registered email address, exactly like a regular email message. So, just look for your anonymous email when you check your email.

Note: We do not save email sent through Match.Com, so if you want to save your sent email messages, save copies of your outgoing email.


Signatures and Replying to Anonymous Email

Don't forget to turn off your signatures when sending anonymous email.

If you are replying to a received anonymous email message, do not include the entire message you received in the response. You may accidentally include your real email address!

Attention those with non-Netscape browsers:

Some browsers often "cache" or save pages. So your browser may redisplay an old version of a Match.Com page even after you have made changes. Don't worry, your inputs have been recorded. To see the updated page, select the "reload page" (or equivalent) option in your Web browser.
