Spam Filtering
Unsolicited email, or "spam" as it is called, has become
a
significant and growing concern for Internet service subscribers.
It is frequently cited as one of the most annoying aspects of the
web.
Recent estimates project that over 50 percent of all email delivered
today is spam.
North State is pleased to offer spam filtering as a standard
component of our email services. Our filtering server processes
each email sent to a northstate.net address and looks at over 60
criteria to weed out spam. This feature has significantly reduced
unwanted email for our Internet customers. Best of all, this service
is free to all subscribers with an @northstate.net address.
Virus Protection
Computer viruses are also a terrible menace on line. New viruses
are introduced into the Internet each week. Many of them are spread
through email attachments. North State scans all incoming emails
for viruses and removes infected messages before they reach your
computer.
Although most viruses spread through email, they can infect
computers in a variety of other ways as well. Our new filtering
service is not intended to replace the existing virus protection
software on your computer, but is provided as supplemental
protection. This service is also free to all subscribers with a
northstate.net
address. |
