We didn’t have to think very hard about starting this blog. While we really want to concentrate our efforts in improving our spam filter and at the same time keep it affordable, we realised that we need to find better ways to connect with our clients, potential clients, and the general internet community at large.
Our product is a hosted spam filter service. What this means is that we do all the spam filtering for you. A quick and easy change to your domain means that your emails are redirected to our servers (presently in the UK, Europe and the United States) where they are checked for spam, phishing and viruses. Obvious spam is blocked and rejected immediately and stuff that we’re not sure about is marked (or ‘tagged’) as spam (not in the subject line but invisibly in the message ‘headers’) and forwarded on to your email server. Your email programme can read the invisible tag and redirect those that are tagged to your junk folder. We think our spam filtering service is the most simple to use and straight forward. You don’t have to install, configure or update anything.
Our spam filtering service is very simple but we think it’s very powerful at the same time. We are constantly working on new spam rules and looking for ways to catch more spam messages. We feel that for the small business, or consultant, or even the home user with their own domain, it’s the best value hosted anti spam service out there.
We intend to use this blog to keep you up to date with news on our developments and also inform you about the latest goings on in the anti spam industry. We will also use this blog to advise you on the latest techniques spammers are using to try and get to your inbox. Notice that we used the word “techniques” where others might use the word “threats”. We want to keep this as simple and straight forward as possible. Phishing and malware (software with malicious intentions) may pose serious concerns but we are just dealing with email here. We don’t want to scare you into a panic with words like “threats” and “attacks”. It’s important to keep a level head about this whole thing and we feel that through this blog and the information we can provide (or “arm”) you with, you’ll be better informed and better able to deal with spam as a whole.
Actually, that’s our job, isn’t it?
