The spam protection software has been upgraded to the latest version. The new version has updated filter rules, better classification of legitimate newsletters, and many bugfixes and improved performance.
The newest feature added, which brings even more customization to the system, is the ability to turn on or off Realtime blacklists for each POP box. This new feature allows you to have all email checked with various large blacklists on the Internet, which helps to detect the newest spam emails in existence. It works by listing the mail servers and email addresses of known spammers and spam accounts, regardless of whether the emails themselves trip the spam rules correctly. An email with entries in mutiple blacklists will probably be tagged as spam.
To enable this feature, go to the “Modify Spam Settings” section in the Account Manager.
These realtime black lists are very effective at stopping spam. One potential drawback is that the possibility exists that a legitimate email could be tagged as spam if it comes from a mailserver where a spammer resides. Because of this, we recommend you only tag the Subject as spam, and filter it locally, just to be sure. If you are not worried about an occassional email being blocked as well, then you may choose any option to deal with email determined to be spam by the software.
The spam protection system only costs $3 per month, and can apply to any of your POP boxes for one account. To order it, you may go to:
