Spellings Computer Services Ltd and AAUG.net are pleased to announce a new email service to be launched at this years' Wakefield Show. ==AAUG.net SPAM and Virus* Filtering== SPAM, or unsolicited email (UCE) is an increasing problem for anyone with a public email address. Posting to a newsgroup, or placing your address on a website can now result in dozens or even hundreds of SPAM messages /per day/. It is predicted that this will only get worse over the next few years, and some experts are stating that it could cause email to be abandoned altogether beacuse of the sheer volume of SPAM. AAUG.net can now offer SPAM filtering and virus protection* on any aaug.net email address for 25UKP inc VAT per year regardless of the ISP you are with. Our servers will virus check and SPAM filter all your incoming email before it gets forwarded onto your ISP, thus saving you the time, expense and risk of download unwanted emails which often contain viruses, explicit images or email scams. We provide a web interface for all "quarantined" email so you can scan through it at your convenience to check for any legitimate email which has been filtered in error. You can then "whitelist" the sender so that email from that person will always be forwarded on in the future. Our interface also allows you to "blacklist" senders and domains that you dont ever wish to receive email from, and future emails from those people will never reach your inbox. Our advanced SPAM filtering uses a combination of Realtime Blackhole Lists (RBLs) which contain the source of thousands of known spammers, and advanced heuristics to spot SPAM messages which originate from sources not yet in the RBLs. Customers who have domains registered through spellings.net may also add filtering and virus checking to their domain email for 70 inc VAT per domain per year. AAUG.net will continue to offer their basic unfiltered email forwarding service, but this will now be priced at 5UKP per year (although existing customers will not be charged anything further for their unfiltered service) ==Wakefield Show launch prices== We will be offering the AAUG.net SPAM filtered email forwarding at a special one-off show launch price of 15UKP inc VAT for those who signup at the show. For those with domains registered through spellings.net (or who transfer to us at the show), and add the filtering to their domain email, the show price is 50UKP inc VAT. Notes to editors AAUG.net have been offering short, simple aaug.net email addresses which are forwarded to any existing POP mailbox for a number of years to fund AAUG activities. Spellings Computer Services Ltd are the premier domain registration and web hosting company in the RISC OS market. With many 100s of domains and websites currently being hosted on our servers, we are pleased to offer this additional service to our existing and prospective customers. *Virus filtering currently only scans for viruses known harmfull to PC and Windows users. Despite there yet to be any malicious RISC OS virus which speads itself via email, we recommend using a RISC OS virus checker (such as !Killer or VProtect) to scan any RISC OS executable received as an attachement via email. www.aaug.net www.spellings.net
