I thought I’d share with you some information you may or may know about your email account you have established through your domain(s) that are hosted with us. Now all of us have personal email addresses that are not tied to your domain, which are Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. accounts, but it’s not those email accounts I’m discussing below. The email accounts that are available to you through your domain are what is discussed below.
Did you know that your email is protected by MX Logic’s Email Defense System and that we have subscribed to this service since 2006?
If you’re at all curious as to why you don’t freely receive as much SPAM in your domain-specific email address as perhaps your Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. email address, it’s probably because our system is protected from such junk before it actually hits our inbox. If this junk email is identified by MX Logic, it will be quarantined and you will receive a report in your email having the chance to manage it by accepting/rejecting the emails that have been quarantined.
Features that are included in the Email Defense Service:
- Spam Blocking—Block over 99 percent of spam and eliminate associated costs
- Virus and Worm Scanning—Integrate maximum protection against virus outbreaks
- Outbound Message Filtering—Protect corporate integrity by establishing sent file policies
- Fraud Protection—Protect your network and your employees from the risks of phishing
- Email Attack Protection—Shield your network from vulnerability and attack
- Content and Attachment Filtering—Reduce corporate liability and risk, while increasing corporate spam control
- Centralized administration—Manage email defense easily and effectively
- Quarantine management—Customize how quarantined mail is handled
- Around-the-clock email security—Feel confident in dedicated network protection
