SpamStick is RootBSD’s new spam filtering service for domains.  It is a hosted filter service that will filter all the e-mail addresses for your domain.  It does not require any installation or changes to your existing mail setup for your domain.  There is a control panel which allows you to easily administer the settings.  SpamStick is ideal for SMBs with their own mail server.  The only change that will need to be made is your DNS MX records.  Once that is changed and we have confirmed your account is setup, you’re ready to start utilizing the service.

Benefits

Our SpamStick filter recognizes on average 99.98% of all spam correctly.  It protects your users and e-mail accounts from e-mail based virus attacks or phishing attempts.  All questionable messages are put in a quarantine in case a message is incorrectly identified as spam.  This allows you to login to the web-based control panel and review any messages that may have been quarantined.  You may also activate a daily or weekly PDF report which summarizes the results of messages sent to quarantine and the ability to release any valid messages with a single click.

How do I get started?

1.  Send an email to support@rootbsd.net telling us the domain you want filtered.

2.  Switch the domain MX records to poin to our  SpamStick servers (we can help with this).

3.  Enjoy!

First 30 days free to any customer who wishes to give SpamStick a test drive.  Simply submit a support ticket with your domain and tell us you wish to add it to SpamStick.  After 30 days, billing will start at $10 per month per domain.  If you don’t wish to keep the service for any reason, no problem, you won’t owe a dime for it.

RootBSD is rolling out SPAM Filtering as a stand alone product to new clients or as an add-on product to existing VPS clients. We’re in search of people who would like to test this product for it’s ability to catch SPAM and it’s reliability in doing so.

We are also currently testing our new CDN (Content Delivery Network or Content Distribution Network) service. CDN is a system of servers containing copies of data, placed at various points in a network to maximize bandwidth for access to data from clients throughout our network.

For Example:

A client accesses a copy of data closest to them, as opposed to all clients accessing data from one central server. This avoids any bottle necks there may be near the central server, thus speeding up load times.

If you are interested in beta testing one or both of these products, please let us know by using the contact form, or log in to your account and open a support ticket.

Interact with us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/RootBSD.  Become a fan and be the first to know about special offers and enhancements in our service.

Don’t forget about the Halloween special we are currently running for all new signups!

Currently offering 10% off the first month on all new sign ups until the end of October. When signing up use the promo code “Halloween” to get the discount.

We would like to expand our knowledgebase to include more in-depth information as well as new information that could be of use to our customers. We’d love to hear about your thoughts and ideas as to what would be good to have articles about, as well as how we can improve any existing content. Feel free to leave a comment on this post or, if you’d prefer, just open a support ticket with us to share your opinions.
