Reduce SpamWe all receive Spam or UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) in our mail boxes and sometimes the sheer amount of Spam can actually take over your entire mail box.Below are a couple of suggestions to help you in your fight against Spam.
|
|
| |
| Remove Catch All Feature | |
| |
|
Your domain might have a catch-all feature enabled which means that any email
that is sent to your domain is delivered. This feature also gives the Spammer
wonderful access to your account as they do not have to know a legitimate email
address in order to get their Spam delivered. They could address the email to
sucker@yourdomain.com and it would still be delivered. We highly recommend that you disable this feature first when combatting Spam. To do this, log into the Email Control Panel using your administrative user name and password. Choose Alias Management from the drop-down menu and then delete the alias called Nobody. | |

| Don't List Your Email | |
| |
|
Placing your email address on your web site is a very bad idea. Spammers have robots that scour the web looking for email addresses on web pages. The same way that Google indexes your pages, the Spammers harvest your email address. Just because your email address is not displayed does mean that it will not be found. The Spammer's robots can read HTML code and look inside of your links and your JavaScript. If you have a form submission tool, make sure that your email address is not included in your form tool. Spammers cannot read your raw ASP, Perl or PHP code and that is where you need to place this type of information. | |

| Spam Gateway | |
| |
|
If you are still receiving too many Spam messages we can add you to our Spam gateway. There is no cost for this service but there is one major drawback -- every time you add a new user, you will need to send us an email so we can add that user to the gateway. If you are interested in adding your domain to the Spam gateway please send us an email. | |
