Feel
secure and look professional when using GlowHost email services.
All email coming through a GlowHost server is filtered through our primary
intensive Anti-virus technology that is updated every night. This service
is free of charge. It sorts and deletes malicious known viruses and
automatically denies delivery to your inbox. With GlowHost email services
you get email accounts @yourdomain.com. This is the most professional way
to use email for your website because your are replying to your customers
in email addresses that originate from your own brand name. This increases
customer confidence and shows your customers that you are a professional
organization with a professional web site.
GlowHost mail service subscribes to spamcop and several other reputable Spam block lists. These block lists are updated several times per day and contain lists of "known spammers" and ensures that delivery from these unwanted senders will never make it into your inbox. We also update our email anti-virus every day to ensure known malicious content never makes it into your email inbox.
Combine the above with "Spam
Assassin" (optional and included on every site) and you
are now in full control of your email inbox. Spam Assassin allows you take
your filtering to a higher level. It is possible for Spam to escape our
preliminary line of defenses. With Spam Assassin you can add a secondary
level of spam prevention, and configure additional settings like:
1. Partially rewrite the subject line to contain the words of your choice, when an email is identified as spam. For example:
Before Spam Assassin: "Buy Our Shoes"
After Spam Assassin: "**SPAM DETECTED** Buy Our Shoes"
2. Deliver emails flagged as Spam to a separate spam box for later hand
filtering. This allows you to go through your Spam inbox from time to time
to check for legitimate email that may have been flagged as spam.
3. Auto-delete mail flagged as spam. This is the most popular method and
allows you to delete spam as it arrives, without ever seeing it, and without
wasting disk space by collecting junk emails in a secondary spam folder.
4. Set the spam threshold. This allows you to set how strict or relaxed the Spam Assassin system proactively filters your email.
5. Whitelist your trusted senders. Add trusted friends and domains to your
whitelist to bypass the Spam Assassin filtration system. This eliminates
"false-positives" and ensures delivery of email from your trusted senders
list.
Webmail
Horde and Squirrelmail is included for all accounts. Webmail is perfect
for those on the move. If you are away from your home computer or laptop,
and need access to your email outside of your favorite email program, like
MS Outlook Express, or simply prefer to read email in an ad-free web based
environment, then Webmail is perfect for you. A Web-based email interface
lets you login, read, reply, forward, include attachments and more all
from a convenient web-based interface. Choose any webmail client you prefer,
anytime! Horde is great for Desktop computers and Squirrelmail is best
suited for slower connections or those that use a PDA or Smart phone and
have a limited screen area. You can import your calendar and address books
into these powerful, fully customizable, web based email applications.
Email
forwarding
Ensure you get those important emails sent to whatever email address you choose. If you have a web site on a GlowHost server with the email address "myname@mydomain.com" you can forward that email to whatever address you check most often. You can forward it to "youremail@yourISP.com" or "yourname@youroffice.com" whatever works best for you! Best of all there is no limit to how many forwards you create and no "per forwarder" fee. There is also no need to contact a server administrator to set them up. It is at your fingertips from your feature packed control panel.
Auto-responders,
email address change, and vacation messages are free for the taking with
you new GlowHost hosted web site.
Auto
responders make follow-up with your site users completely automated, reduces
redundant emailings and lets your clients know that someone "is home" and
that you will be in contact with them very shortly. Try one out for size....
send a blank email to this
address. After you have sent it, check your email box, you will see the
power and automation that a custom auto-responder can offer. Your email address
is not stored, this is a one-time email for demonstration purposes only.
Email
Filters
Great for beginners and experts. Filters on the beginner level can be used to simply discard emails that meet certain criteria, like a subject line that you did not want to see anymore, or someone's email address you do not want to receive email from ever again. For advanced users, filters can be setup to "pipe" inbound email to specialized scripts like helpdesks and ticketing systems.
MailMan
ListServer software
Manage and maintain opt-in and opt-out mailing lists and newsletters with
your Mailman List server. Mailman supports "announce only" and collaborative
user groups modes. Announce only is just that, you post to the list server
and all your list members get your message. User groups mode allows list
members to reply to the list, and all users on the list will get
their reply. Great for community sites, bug trackers, software development,
and other groups who prefer to keep in contact with each other. Attachments
are fully supported, and online archives can be stored for later viewing.
The Mailman list server is included free of charge on every domain hosted by GlowHost.com.
