Introduction

  • Ever lost important mail because your mail server went down?
  • Want to run an SMTP server but port 25 is blocked by your ISP?
  • Want all harmful email viruses removed from your emails before reaching your SMTP server?
  • Tired of spam?

We provide up to 3 backup mail servers that are located in geographically diverse regions to receive your emails when your primary mail server unreachable due to network outages or server downtime. By adding our backup mail servers as MX records to your domain, you can be ensured that mails destined for your organization will never be lost.

In addition, our mail servers can be used as a front to hide your organization's mail server thus eliminating the risk of your mail server of being directly exposed to hackers.

Backup mail server - How does it work?

Our system works by the concept of "store and forward". Whenever someone tries sending mail to your primary mail server while it is down, mails are automatically routed to any one of our backup mail servers. Our mail server will store your emails for you until your primary mail server is up again.

Antivirus and spam filtering - How does it work?

No special hardware of software is required. All that is required is to set your mail MX records to point to our server. It takes less than 5 minutes to do; and you can benefit from the antivirus and spam filtering that we offer

SMTP cloaking

Our system can be set to function as a primary SMTP server. All emails destined for your domain will be delivered to us, and then forwarded on to your servers thus hiding your mail server from the public, increasing security for vulnerable SMTP servers. This feature also allows you to run your own mail server should your ISP be blocking port 25. Our mail server is capable of forwarding mails to servers that do not run on the standard SMTP port. Due to the extra bandwidth requirements, the SMTP cloaking service is not part of the basic package, this is an additional cost, selectable during or after signup.

Features and Benefits

  • All emails are automatically scanned for viruses. Any emails containing viruses would be quarantined and an alert sent to the recipient and sender.
  • Seamless and easy setup. The entire setup can be completed in under 3 minutes!
  • Ability to deliver mails to your server on non-standard SMTP ports. This allows you to hide your SMTP server for added security and peace of mind.
