Web Hosting Company Hostway Offers Cleanup of Spam

 NewHostway CleanMail Plus Increases Customers’ Control Over Their Inboxes

Hostway Corp., a leading provider of Web hosting and other managedservices, today gave customers the opportunity to increase their power in thefight against spam and viruses with the release of CleanMail Plus, acustomizable spam detector and virus shield.

In addition to filteringspam, CleanMail Plus also blocks most of the viruses that spread via email. Thisfeature not only protects individual end users, it can also help to minimize theeffect of such viruses for enterprises as well as the Internet in general. Thenew service is included free of charge to all current and new customers ofHostway’s premium hosting packages. CleanMail Plus will be available for anominal annual fee for customers of Hostway’s Gold and ValuePlus hostingpackages.

According to Nucleus Research, the economic cost of spam is$874 a year for every employee with an email account, which multiplied by 100million such employees comes to a cost of about $87 billion for the UnitedStates. Spam is costing companies real money by incurring productivity loss andincreased maintenance and overhead costs.

To help the cause, some majorISP providers, such as Microsoft, America Online, EarthLink and Yahoo recentlybanded together and launched six lawsuits under the US CAN-SPAM legislationagainst hundreds of people accused of sending spam. Hostway is also answeringthe call by giving more spam-fighting power to its customers.

“We fullysupport the intent behind the recent lawsuits and trust that the US CAN-SPAMlegislation can help put an end to this epidemic in the long run, but we knowthat customers are demanding immediate action,” said John Lee, Hostway’sDirector of Marketing. “People are extremely frustrated that their inboxes areoverflowing with other unsolicited messages. CleanMail Plus puts controldirectly in the customers’ hands, helping prevent these intrusive messages fromever being delivered and putting an end to the time wasted on them.”

Byusing advanced technology to scan all incoming emails for known spam andviruses, CleanMail Plus gives users the ability to create white and blacklistsby email address or domain name, so they can decide who they receive mail from.One of the problems of other spam blocking systems is that they can block emailfrom legitimate senders along with spam. By giving customers the ability to settheir own black and white lists of senders, CleanMail Plus limits the amount ofmisclassified messages. CleanMail Plus also allows customers to manage theirlists and other filter preferences with an easy-to-use Web-based controlpanel.

Additionally, CleanMail Plus rules can be customized at both thedomain and individual email address level. This added flexibility helps systemadministrators set spam and virus filtering rules on a company-wide level whilepreserving the right of each individual email address owner to customize his orher filter.

Hostway launched CleanMail Plus in response to customers’growing need for an effective spam and virus filter that works seamlessly withemail systems without disrupting the day-to-day activities of busy businessprofessionals.
