Email Protection Services NOSPAM!

Trust your email (and your spam) to the professionals: the technology behind our NOSPAM service has won the PC Magazine Editors Choice Award for the last two years as the best anti-spam service on the market.

When your service is activated you will be sent detailed instructions on how to access your Message Center and how to get the most out of your protection against email junk and viruses.

The NOSPAM service email that appears to be junk or virus-infected and redirects it to a password-protected online Message Center where you can review and retrieve selected messages if you wish. You will be able to set the level of restrictiveness, specify what kinds of subject matter you want filtered, and specify senders who are always or never filtered.

You can even "disinfect" mail that has been "quarantined" because it appears to contain a virus, and then receive only the safe part of that mail

NOSPAM service overview:

• Your email passes through automated filters that detect suspected junk email and viruses, based on your personal preferences. For exmple, you can have mail leniently or aggressively blocked based on subject matter, including "get-rich-quick" and "adult" themes.



• Suspicious email is directed to your personal, web-based, password-protected Message Center (it does not arrive at your computer's in-box). Think of this as a quarantine area. In your Message Center you can read the quarantined email online, delete it, or deliver (forward) it to your in-box.



• Initially you should visit your Message Center often because the service "remembers and learns" from your interaction with it.
  
  
• NOSPAM lets you "block" senders; meaning, email from them will always be filtered. Or you can "approve" senders; meaning, their email will always be delivered.



• This service is completely controlled by you.

NOTE: One NOSPAM signup corresponds to one (1) domain name. You can use your Message Center to add more addresses @yourdomain to be filtered. The standard setup is just one Message Center per domain into which all filtered spam goes, so much like any other Control Panel function, one (or more) person should be your mail administrator. If you use additional domains (parked) for email you will need to sign those up separately.

You can also add more Message Centers for a single domain, if for instance 3 email users each want to completely manage their own filtering, separate from anyone else. This also requires a separate setup for each user - just let us know.

How do I get NOSPAM for my domain?

Privacy note: we not share information about our customers with the technology provider (Postini) or anyone else, except when legally required by authorized law-enforcement officials. If you subscribe to this service, no one will never know anything about your email. The NOSPAM services are private and secure. The junk email and virus protection is an automated process - the contents of your emails are secure.

More Anti-Spam Tips:

NOSPAM can do a great job of filtering spam and harmful viruses, but there are more things you can do to prevent spam from ever being sent to you:

1. NEVER RESPOND OR UNSUBSCRIBE TO SPAM
   The promise is to take your name off the list, but it's a lie. Your reply will simply confirm a live address, and you'll get more spam.


2. DON’T POST YOUR ADDRESS ON YOUR WEBSITE
   Posting your email address on your personal home page is just an invitation to spammers. Spammers have software that "harvests" email addresses from web pages. Any email address on a public web page WILL be spammed - guaranteed. To defeat this tactic, use either a contact form, or mask your email address.


3. BOUNCE INVALID ADDRESSES
   The Default mailbox acts as a catchall box for all email sent to your domain for which there isn't a mailbox - a great idea originally, but now most is spam. It is automatically set up to forward to the mailbox with your username. If you want to send unassigned email into oblivion:
   • Create a new email box called: /dev/null
   • Click on the /dev/null box in your mail manager and set it to forward to /dev/null
   • Click on the "Default" box link in your mail manager and set it to Forward to the /dev/null box
   • This will send all unassigned (not sent to a working email box name) into space.
     


4. DON’T GIVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WITHOUT KNOWING HOW IT WILL BE USED
   If a website is asking for your email address, they want to use it for something. Be sure you know what. Read the terms of use and privacy statements of any site before telling them your address.
   
5. NEVER BUY ANYTHING ADVERTISED IN SPAM
   The reason that people spam is because they can make money. They make money, like all advertisers, by convincing people to buy a product. If no one buys the things advertised in spam, companies will quit paying spammers to advertise their products.
