Email Account Upgrades
POP3 and IMAP email accounts come as standard with your website hosting; how many depends on your chosen package.
Email SPAM and Virus Filtering
SPAM Filtering operates on our powerful mail servers to provide the ultimate protection against email borne viruses and unsolicited email, commonly referred to as SPAM. SPAM Filtering can be fully configured to your own unique preferences, allowing full automation and real-time control over what you choose to allow into your mailbox, in turn increasing productivity and decreasing time wasted on filtering unwanted junk mail.
Our Spam + Virus filtering service has been designed with time, accuracy and simplicity as the key critical elements. From the second Spam + Virus filtering is enabled on your account, you can expect upwards of 98% of junk mail eradicated from your Inbox. With its self learning Bayesian database and point scoring engine, coupled with our proactive monitoring of new techniques employed by Spammers - thus ensuring new Spam is filtered without risking an increase to genuine (ham) mail.
Such is the power and accuracy of the filter that the likelihood of incorrectly identifying a message as spam is negligible and makes it nigh on impossible for spammers and virus writers to craft their messages to bypass the filters.
SPAM Filter Options
-
Move to Another Mailbox
Spam suspected messages can be moved to a mailbox within your account that can then be viewed or verified using webmail or any standard POP3 mail client.
-
Quarantine Spam (recommended)
The quarantine feature stores messages considered junk in a folder labelled as 'Spam' that can be viewed through the webmail application. This allows you to manually check suspected spam messages before deletion, without having to download them to your local computer.
-
Mark & Deliver Mail
Each suspected spam message can have its subject prefixed with a given word; the default being SPAM:. Thus, allowing you to download the messages locally and filter in your own mail client.
-
Delete Spam Mail
Use this option to ensure no spam is ever sent to you. Our systems are upwards of 99% accurate in terms of identifying spam and as such you can have the confidence that only legitimate email will be routed to your mailbox. This is the default action for all virus bourne emails.
Advanced SPAM Filter Settings
-
Filtering Sensitivity
A self evolving point scoring system, all email is scanned and checked by thousands of different rules to check its validity. The higher the score, the more likely it is spam. The tolerance scale allows you to either increase or decrease the points required for a message to be considered as Spam.
-
Black Lists
A Black List defines email addresses or domain names from which you wish to automatically reject email, regardless of content. Should the Spam Filtering fail to intercept a spam email from a particular address or domain name, you may wish to add it to the black list.
-
White Lists
A white list defines email addresses or domain names from which you will always allow mail to be delivered normally, regardless of content. Should the Spam Filtering incorrectly reject a legitimate email from a particular address or domain name, you should add it to your white list.
-
Spam Statistics
To show you how our spam filter has benefited you we provide you with graphical statistics. These are detailed statistics which are provided on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
Website Statistics
Knowing what is being viewed, by whom and how often is vital to understand how your website is performing.
