Adhost News and Tips – January 2007

New email server

Adhost has completed a significant upgrade to our mail infrastructure that will provide increased resiliency and responsiveness for our customers. As a customer, you may now use the following protocols to check your email: POP, S-POP (secure POP), IMAP and S-IMAP (secure IMAP). In the past Adhost supported only POP. We hope you enjoy the new features of our mail cluster. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for information about our Web mail services!

How to limit junk email

Despite our spam filters and other techniques which reject 9 out of 10 emails destined for our clients’ POP accounts, we are well aware that everyone is still getting some unwanted emails. Here are two things you should check which could help:

1. If you have a catch-all account which receives email to anything@yourdomain.com, turn it off. Here are instructions for catch-all mailboxes.

2. You can adjust the spam filter level on your Adhost pop account(s) by logging into your client control panel and selecting "Email Manager". Read more about how to adjust email filters.

Please note that these fixes only apply to Adhost clients with POP accounts on our mail servers, not clients with email aliases which we forward to POP accounts hosted elsewhere. If you have questions or need assistance, call us at 1-888-323-4678.
