In our never-ending war to stop
spamming and provide our clients with better service, we offer a
proprietary Network Spam filtering technology on all of our shared servers. We
stop over 90% of the spam mail that would have reached our customers' mailboxes
using a sophisticated pattern recognition technology. This technology is
integrated on all of our premium hosting plans (Plus, Advantage and Business
packages). Please note that in order to ensure we do not block valid e-mail, we
do not allow our clients to edit the filters as they are server-wide
settings.
