Spam Blocker

 

All email entering our servers is checked against real-time updated lists of known spammers. Spam is known as unsolicited commercial email, or junk mail. The spam lists which we are connected with are through four international organizations, which are listed below.

 

These block lists will stop most spam from entering our servers, and therefore your email accounts. However, some spam will still get through on occasion. The lists are very accurate and every attempt is made to ensure that legitimate email doesn't get blocked. If someone is trying to send you legitimate email, but they are on a block list, they will receive a message from the server informing them that they are on one of the block lists. They can then make other arrangements to contact you. Such cases are very rare.

 

If you have a hosting account with us and are managing a number of email accounts for your organization, please inform your members that any email sent to them will first be checked against all four block lists.

 

If you have any comments, questions or concerns, feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you.

Spamhaus Block List

 

The SBL is a realtime database of IP addresses of verified spam sources (including spammers, spam gangs and spam support services), maintained by the Spamhaus Project team and supplied as a free service to help email administrators better manage incoming email streams.

Exploits Block List

 

The Spamhaus Exploits Block List (XBL) is a realtime database of IP addresses of illegal 3rd party exploits, including open proxies (HTTP, socks, AnalogX, wingate, etc), worms/viruses with built-in spam engines, and other types of trojan-horse exploits.

SpamCop

 

This list contains IP addresses which have been reported to SpamCop as carriers of SUBE (Supposed Unsolicited Bulk Mail), whether directly or indirectly. Some of these reports come from 'spamtraps' (email addresses used strictly to receive spam). The reports about SUBE from a given system are weighted against a sampling of the total amount of mail from the same system to determine a ratio.

ORDB - Open Relay DataBase

 

ORDB.org is the Open Relay Database. ORDB.org is a non-profit organisation which stores IP-addresses of verified open SMTP relays. These relays are, or are likely to be, used as conduits for sending unsolicited bulk email, also known as spam.
