Anti-Spam Mechanisms on our Mail Servers Unsolicited Bulk Email ("spam", "junk email") is a major problem on the Internet. As with many Service Providers, 80%+ of incoming email at Ultradesign's mail relays is spam. If not dealt with efficiently by rejecting it before it enters our servers and customer mailboxes, the ever-increasing volume of junk email would clog our mail queues and seriously annoy our customers. To address this problem, Ultradesign Internet uses a series of anti-spam mechanisms/filters on our mail relays which very efficiently identify and reject over 99% of incoming spam emails. |
