Your incoming e-mail is redirected through our systems. Malicious content is blocked before it gets to your computer systems; only clean e-mail is delivered to you. You choose the level of spam blocking so you do not have to sift through junk e-mail. You choose between 'best effort' and 'enforced' encryption for end-to-end e-mail transmission, based on your need for privacy and compliance. That's the story in short.

What differentiates us from the competition?

11 REASONS TO CHOOSE BITNETS

The e-mail service bundled with your dial-up or high-speed Internet connection would most likely come with software that needs to be installed on every computer you use. It would deal with viruses and/or spam (effectively or not) after the malicious content gets to your computer. Do you really want malware on your computer at all, and risk it going undetected if the software is either not installed or has not been updated?

Please read our FAQ for more information.

Further you would not get encryption of any kind, much less 'enforced' encryption for secure e-mail exchange between yourself, your partners and branch offices. Our secure e-mail service has been the only commercial service of its kind for several years (since 2001), and only in 2004 did we first hear of secure e-mail being offered by another company as a managed service to enterprise customers. In contrast we have always been in the forefront and focused on small business.

The service uses:

• Anti-virus scanners and advanced content filtering at the Internet level to ensure that the received e-mail message contains no known viruses, worms, Trojans, high risk attachments and other potentially harmful content
• Anti-spam filters and blocking techniques based on your preferred level from Low to Extreme
• SMTP over Transport Layer Security (TLS) on an 'enforced' per-site or 'best effort' basis and POP3 over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption to deliver filtered e-mail messages to your systems.

• TLS/SSL capable ESMTP and POP3 standard
• Enforceable** encryption guarantee for each e-mail
• Anti-Virus and Advanced Content Filtering standard
• Envelope recipient header information standard
• Spam Blocking and Tagging
• Spam Management
• Auto Forwarding
• POP3 collection, ETRN/ATRN delivery and forwarding
• Unlimited Aliases with domain catch-all mailboxes
• SSL Web Mail, WAP*** Mail and E-mail to Wireless***
• Secure intranet/extranet Instant Messaging
• 24x7 monitoring
• Integration with your Intranet Mail Server

* Available features differ between FreeBSD and Windows hosting
** From your partners, working with us to ensure compliance
*** Requires feature/service from the cell phone service provider

The managed service eliminates administrative and security overhead for your company. Our servers are housed in physically secure locations and mail exchange with your company systems is over a secure encrypted channel. Internet e-mail is scanned for viruses and potentially harmful content and filtered for high-risk attachments before entering your company systems. The ultimate in e-mail protection and peace of mind!

We guarantee our systems will trap more undiscovered viruses and potentially harmful content than traditional systems. More than any other system in the world, short of services that indiscriminately delete all attachments.
Our content filter is the best solution to strip potentially harmful content that is not per se detected as a virus.
The service even detects malicious content that is not sent as an attachment, and is instead embedded in the body of an e-mail message! Merely receiving such a message could potentially infect your systems, without ever opening an attachment.

Plus, all mail transfers are set up for industry-standard TLS/SSL, so incoming e-mail from the Internet can be received over a secure encrypted channel and filtered e-mail can then be forwarded to your systems also over a secure encrypted channel.

We have custom plans to fit individual client's requirements and needs. We determine the most appropriate combination of services in consultation with our clients.
