Why ?

The explosive growth of the use of E-Mail both in business and home has provided the benefits of cheap and instantaneous global messaging. This is readily available with a low cost of entry. Unfortunately, as a result of the high penetration of electronic mail in the business, e-Mail has now become one of the most frequently abused technologies and users regularly find themselves bombarded with spam and viruses up to hundreds or even thousands of times every day.

According to a recent survey, around 80% of emails on the Internet, up to 6.5 billion emails a day, are spam. The unwanted emails are created not only by professional spammers, but also by automatic "botnets" - where the personal computers of unsuspecting internet users are secretly infected with a virus or rogue software to form a robotic network that generates enormous quantities of unwanted spam. These compromised computers can be used in turn to attack other PCs and websites.

Comprehensive Solution

Because of the importance of email as an everyday business tool it is important to ensure the absolute accuracy in email delivery, removing viruses and spam and eliminating the incidence of false positives. It is with this in mind that the LetsHost Anti spam solution uses a multi-layered approach to identify, analyse and "clean" incoming email prior to delivery to the mailbox.

Email is verified by recipient address lookup, passed through customized content filters and quarantined as appropriate. It is then scanned for viruses, passed through White list and Blacklist databases, passed through RBL and DNSRBL databases, analyzed based on keywords in Headers and Body Text, scanned using customized and Bayesian rule sets. Finally mail is scanned using Razor and DCC fingerprint checks and assigned a "score" whereupon it will be quarantined, flagged as Spam or delivered. The end user can even retrieve any quarantined mail thus ensuring no email is ever lost.

How ?

A simple MX record change is all that is required to implement the LetsHost anti-spam solution. No hardware or software changes are required by the LetsHost Client, and the service can be up and running in minutes. Customers not hosting with LetsHost, will need to make a very simple change to their email client software.

All identified spam emails are preserved for 14 days for review and delivery if required.

The LetsHost anti-spam solution has a fair use policy allowing up to 1000 emails to be processed per day, per domain. There are no restrictions on the number of email accounts per domain.
