SPAM, SPAM, SPAM
70-75% of all email is unwanted junk email (spam)
You probably don't want it, it takes time to get rid of
it and it's probably costing you money dealing with it - what's more is it's likely to get worse.
WiSSHost uses an innovative and highly accurate method of
detecting junk email, using over 8,000 tests and rules to
differentiate between valid and junk email achieving a detection
accuracy of 90% and better.
How does it work?
All email is subjected to a series of tests as it passes
through our mail servers, for each test failed a cumulative weight
is applied to the email. Additional header information is written to
the email detailing the tests failed and the total weight applied to
the email. See junk email tests for
further information.
How can I use junk mail filters tests?
Most email clients such as Outlook provide a rules based
filtering system that allows system administrators set up complex
filtering on incoming email. For instance, a rule can be created
that looks for SPAM-VHIGH in the subject line, if found moves the
email to another folder for review or deletes it. You can filter on
any information contained in the email headers (where we add
information on email that fails junk email tests) further
information can be found here.
How much does it cost?
Junk email filtering is a value added service carries no
additional cost.
How can I block junk email without setting up rules
on my local email server or PC?
Yes, we can customise the actions we take on email that fails
tests and hold email for you thus considerably reducing the amount
of mail that is sent to you. We review all held email ensuring
that legitimate email that is held is delivered to you. This
service is a fee based subscription please contact us using the

Avoiding SPAM
A priority amongst
spammers is to harvest as many 'live' email addresses as possible
- this is their cash crop from which they make their living
selling onto junk emailers for other use.
Your mission -
should you choose to accept it - is to minimise exposure to
harvesting as much as possible - don't be the cash crop.
- Avoid using catch all email aliases. Harvesters will send out
emails to random email address on a known domain hoping to gain a
response, someone opening the email, an auto-responder or bounce
message.
- Don't use auto responders (see above).
- Obscure email addresses on web sites if possible (java script
is useful here).
- Don't use the unsubscribe link from unsolicited email -
you're only confirming that you have a live email address
