Spam Control

The curse of spam

Unsolicited mail - commonly known as spam - bombards inboxes every day of the week. It wastes valuable time for users as they check and delete junk messages but it has other implications that most users do not appreciate. Spam destroys the efficiency of your email system and consumes valuable bandwidth on your hosting account leaving less bandwidth for genuine visitors.

Spam messages containing pornographic content often distress the recipient and spammers also use email to fraudulently request confidential information about your banking and credit card accounts. In the UK alone, identity theft costs its victims more than £8.5 million a year.

Spam accounts for more than 70% of all email messages transmitted on the internet and it's a problem that is getting worse.

But help is at hand...

Introducing SPAMBouncer - built-in spam control

SPAMBouncer is available as an add-on with all our hosting accounts. Offering the latest level of anti-spam protection, it checks all incoming emails and it recognises most of the spam and pornographic content that blights our lives. Working in conjunction with our free virus scanning systems, SPAMBouncer can reduce the problems almost to zero.

You always have complete control over the way SPAMBouncer handles any mail identified as spam. The options are:

• return the suspect message to the sender explaining why their email was rejected
• add a header that your email client will recognise and divert it to a nominated folder
• send it straight to a special mailbox where you can view it before deciding what to do with it

The cost of spam control

If you decide to use SPAMBouncer, an annual charge of £36 will be added to your hosting account - that's less than 10 pence per day to eliminate 98% of the junk you now receive.
