Viruses

for those still being plagued with hundreds of these worms in your inbox --
try this anti spam program. I am running it and I cannot tell you how much
I LOVE it. It filters out all the crap, and let's in the stuff you want.
You customize to suit you, and before an e-mail can get to you, the sender
has to verify himself, something spammers never do. You can always check
the box on their website for stuff you think should have gotten through --
but it never does. It's quick, easy and you can try it 30 days free -- check
it out.

If you don't have anti-virus get it, if you have it keep it up to date.
NEVER open anything you are not expecting!

That is pretty interesting.

Since you've used it, can you tell me more specifically how it works? From your
point of view as an end user.

Do you still use your own email program as you did before?

Does your email route through their company's server first (basically holding it
for you0?

I think that is exactly what it does.. I don't like the idea of someone else
possibly getting my email in the guise of *scanning it for spam* even though
I am sure it's a legit service. I also refuse to pay someone to do it. You
can set up your own filters easily enough. And as Thomas said, you also run
the risk of not getting important things because some one else has decided
for you what is spam and what isn't. One person's *spam* is potentially
another persons livelihood. And I am not talking from the perspective of the
spammer there, lol. I at one time filters out web email comains such as
hotmail and yahoo because alot of spammers use them to spoof return
addresses. Problem with that is, alot of people on EBay use those domains
for correspondence. I was always finding things I needed to get had been
filtered to my delete file.

I agree with Teeb. Marc, you can try MailWasher at http://www.firetrust.com
to scan and filter your incoming mail before your mail reader catch it.

You can filter the key word like VIAGRA, PHARMACY, and other.

Mailwasher you can download for free but the Pro will cost you.

Thanks Cap, I really like what I'm seeing so far. Did you register yet? How
long is your registration good for?

Marc, I do not remember the length of the warranty when you register. You
can try the free version first and see if you like it then email them first
before you register. They also have a forum you can ask question regarding
about the product.

I register and use version 2 and now 3.1. The current version is 3.2.

The support and upgrade is about 1 years.
http://www.firetrust.com/products/mailwasherpro/
You still can ask question in the forum after one year, I tried and was
helpful.

CapFusion,....

I was asking, because another program listed in the ng suggested paying for a
service that lasted 6 months, to 5 years, at various pricing.

If this is a one time fee, I'm sold. I love this thing so far!!!

That's how it works. Their are a number of companies offering this -
mxlogic, mailarmory etc.

We scan all mail passing through our servers for both spam and viruses
in the same way they do - the difference is that it never leaves our
network.

We've worked with each of these companies, and to be fair - all of
their scanning is over-zealous. Perhaps for some people it works -
for me, missing ONE email tagged as SPAM that shouldn't be might prove
a problem worth many thousands of dollars.

These approaches are the same on all of our hosting accounts - from
the $4.99 a month accounts up to the dedicated/managed servers....
no-one gets lesser service with us.

Our approach to SPAM and viruses are thus:

SPAM: tag and release - if we can identify it, change the title to
whatever it was with {SPAM?} added to the front - this allows users to
filter using rules or in their mail program, or using our web based
email. As I said - one lost email can be worth thousands of lost
revenue. The methods employed by MailArmory for example, are "TRASH
and tell you later" - which is potentially fatal to a few valid emails
coming from poorly policed networks.

Viruses: fix or quarantine and notify both parties - we run commercial
anti-virus on each server - if we can identify the virus and clean it,
we will do so. If not, we'll quarantine the attachment or email, and
send recipient and sender a notification that a virus was found (and
identify it). Clients have the option of having us send them the
infected attachment, or request a clean on from the sender.

Both our virus and SPAM filtering are setup as fail-pass-through - ie,
if the virus scanner stops for any reason (it's happened twice now in
three years), then viruses will be passed through, rather than your
email stopping completely. We turn of notification when the faker
plagues arrive for those particular viruses!

We service businesses, and to be honest, this approach has only caused
a couple "issues" with our smaller customers - who, despite being
warned to NOT use our services as THEIR ONLY VIRUS SCANNER, did so
under the impression that we would handle all of their problems for
them - big mistake!

I don't trust our clients' email to any third party solution - we've
tried to workj with a number, and they are all inflexible. I'd rather
work on improving our solutions for our clients here than spend money
on outside systems. Our customers prefer it that way too!

I've heard of this before. I don't like the way it works, with the
verification thing. I think it might hurt my eBay business. G
