ActiveServers Mail Offerings :
Most hosts typically offer a
one size fits all mail server software. After months
of testing
third party mail servers for commercial users, we
settled on Merak Mail, and SmarterMail. While
SmarterMail is the default mail server, as it is so
easy to understand with a very high comfort level.
This .Net
application is proven robust. We were able to
consolidate many Imail servers, into only two SmarterMail
machines. Our goal
was to put all the management for spam and rules in
the hands of our users. Another advantage, we have
removed many of the list server duties from client mail
servers to assure there are no slow mail delivery
waiting on list mail queuing.
We offer clients two separate internal relay
servers. One is a dedicated Opteron Dual just for list
server duties. Then another
for typical form action duties and store and forward
for time sensitive deliveries. We allow our clients
to send up to 20,000, approved opt out email lists a
month without charge. Some hosts charge over $100.00
a month for a single 20,000 recipient email list. We
do not tolerate spammers! However, many clients need
to send monthly or weekly news letters which are
valid, and users have signed up for. We won't
penalize our clients for conducting business.
Enterprise Mail Filtering
Quarantine Access: You have access to the Quarantine
store on a per user or domain administrator basis.
With per user reporting on the number of
intercepted emails.
Set it and let it learn: You can white-list or black-list
though a black list is typically handled
as it learns. We assure that if you have
a problem sender you have the control to
assure their mail passes.
Very accurate
with spoofing : We have heard
claims that many bits of software could
see and react to a spoof yet it has been
our observation this is rare. We can
confirm it works well with our
protection model.
Anti Virus :
Virus fears are removed with our proven
method of packet inspection and virus
removal. We offer three deep defense
layers each with different antivirus
software to stop virus propagation.
Anti-Phishing :
We look deep inside each email to trying
to remove phishing scams as well as the
many other checks to determine the
legitimacy of each email you receive.
