Email/Filtering
Email Hosting
Let’s be honest. No one wants to share all the time. So wouldn’t it be nice to have your own email address at your own domain? We think so. And we also want to give you what you want, so even if you don’t have a connection with us, we’d still love to help. Not only that, we also recognize that there’s a lot of information out there, and we can’t expect everyone to know everything – especially when it comes to technology. So, when you have a problem with your email, please don’t hesitate to call us. (We would call you, but we’re still working on the whole future-telling thing, so we aren’t able to predict just yet when it is that you’ll be having technical difficulties.)
Virus/Spam Filtering

While we’re on our high horse, we might as well kill two birds with one stone and boast about our junk mail filtering service. With a sophisticated system that both filters and classifies, it can identify spam with an accuracy of 75-80% and can save you from wasting time sifting through scam offers, offensive content and other unsolicited messages that would clog both your inbox and your mind. Perhaps we’d make pretty good plumbers, too.
Let’s talk SpamAssassin
This is the package we use to save you from those dreadful junk messages.
- It analyzes incoming messages according to a rule set of several hundred criteria – a few of which regard the origin of the mail, its recipients, word content of the message, and even its formatting
- Each rule has a numerical value, which is added to the “score” of all the messages that match the criteria
- You can raise or lower this threshold from a “control panel” webpage for your account
- There are rules whose criteria suggest a message is not spam – these have negative values, and thus pull the message score down
Shades of gray
There are none. Our junk mail filter allows you to employ blacklists and whitelists. If you prefer to never receive mail from a specified address, you can “blacklist” it, which adds 100 points to the score of all messages sent from that address. On the reverse side of the spectrum, if you wish to always receive mail from a certain address, you can “whitelist” it, which subtracts 100 points from the score and thereby ensures that no matter how “spammy” a message from that address appears to the system, you will still always receive it. If only everything in life were that easy.
