What is Spam?

Spam emails, also known as Junk Mail, are unsolicited email messages that often times flood your mailbox box with annoying, inappropriate or even illegal advertisements. According to the Radicati Group, a technology research firm, it is estimated that over 74% of the emails we receive today are spam. This figure is expected to rise to 85% by 2009. It is very common for a user to receive 100 spam messages per day. That comes out to about 36,000 unwanted emails arriving in your mailbox each year! Unacceptable, agreed?

Does Dynamod block SPAM?

Your Dynamod Web portal is protected by an industry leading, award winning firewall that will stop spammers before they ever reach your mailbox. Not only will you receive an incredibly smaller amount of unwanted emails, you will also be protected from viruses that make their way around cyberspace as well as email fraud and identity theft, both of which are always a great threat.

How does Dynamod do it?

Dynamod's spam filters catch up to 98% of all spam that passes through servers and provides amazingly low ratios of 1 in 100,000 false positives. This is done using a variety of proven techniques including:

DNS Block Lists

This is the first step. Using domain-based lists of hosts that are blacklisted, the spam firewall can immediately know if the message you were sent came from a very active spammer. Believe it or not, the majority of messages won't even make it past this step.

URL Block Lists

How many times have you received in an email with a URL that shows one website's address but takes you to a completely different address? Using a list of malicious or spam-based URLs, Dynamod can easily detect if a message contains such links and protect you from them accordingly.

Antivirus Protection

All messages that come through Dynamod's Spam Firewall are scanned for viruses. Dynamod uses the Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine, one of the highest rated virus scanning technologies in the world, to effectively and efficiently prevent any viruses from attacking your computer.

What about my privacy?

Dynamod's spam firewall abides by all regulations of email privacy and compliance to ensure the utmost confidentiality and protection of your emails and personal information.
