Beta Testers for Anti-Spam Service

**Matt R.** · 06-22-2007, 01:06 PM

Clients,

We're shortly going to be launching a premium anti-spam service to help cut down the amount of spam in your inbox. This is going to be an addon service that will cost a small amount, to cover our costs of running it.

However, we need 10 beta testers to test this out for a few weeks and provide us with feedback.

Beta testers will be provided with the service for free on one domain name indefinitely.

If you'd like to help us test this out, the first 10 people to reply will be picked.

This solution will eradicate 99% of your spam.

Matt

I am considering hosting here because of the amount of spam I receive where I currently host. I tried using the live chat and calling, but didn't connect with anyone. I saw you were pretty responsive on FatWallet, but I was disappointed I couldn't reach anyone to answer a few simple questions, mainly dealing with spam filtering. I would be interested in trying this and transferring to your hosting service. Please email me.

Thanks,

RCraig

I would be interested, but my traffic is so low it might not be useful to you. However, if you'd like, I'll try it out.

Could you email me at matt@webhostingbuzz.com directly?

Our phone service is new and we are having teething problems. We're switching to a different type of PBX soon which should ease things.

5 spaces left for beta testers...

**Tom** · 06-23-2007, 10:57 AM

I would like to be a beta tester.

**Milton-B** · 06-23-2007, 11:05 AM

I'm interested on being a beta tester, but I just want to know if this will affect the performance of the mail server...

**Matt R.** · 06-23-2007, 11:07 AM

If anything, it will improve the performance of mail servers. SpamAssassin and cppop currently hit CPU usage hard on some of our servers.

**Matt R.** · 06-23-2007, 11:07 AM

3 left now by the way - all those who have expressed interest will be contacted on Monday.

**Jebo65** · 06-23-2007, 05:55 PM

I will try to help out on the beta testing

Hi Craig,

Sorry for your lack of response. Not sure what happened here - can you email me the ticket number assigned to your ticket and any questions you may have? I'd be glad to assist.

Thanks! You can reach me at nick@webhostingbuzz.com

This firewall does use a "Greylisting" technique. As part of this technique some emails can be delayed for a period of 5-10 minutes. However, this will never happen more than once per mailserver sending to you.

Here's a basic document on graylisting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting

It's well worth the *one time* delay of your email as it's an essential part of the spam blocking.

This firewall without a doubt will block 97% of your spam while having a 1 in 1,000,000 false positive rate.

Are you guys using the Barracuda Networks Spam Firewall System?

I heard that is a pretty solid system.

Would be interested if you still need another!

It's a very similar but more powerful and equally as accurate system.
