For as little as $1/mo per domain you can offer
a complete Spam & Virus Filtering solution under
your own brand.

A Spam Firewall can block 98% or more of Spam
before it even reaches your network, reducing the
load on your mail server and saving on bandwidth,
admin and technical support related costs.

Find out how a Spam Firewall can protect your
customers and email users from Spam and other
unwanted and potentially dangerous email traffic
while improving email user experience and also
increasing customer satisfaction and retention.

Well, at least they're really polite about it. Canadians are cool like that.

no matter how polite they are SPAM is SPAM regardless.

But they are offering their service in their mail right ? And besides i dont think that that is sent unsolicited.

And besides i dont think that that is sent unsolicited.

how do you make that out.

NEVER heard of this company
NEVER dealt with this company
NEVER disclosed ANY email to this company.

theirfore they harvested the email from somewhere or just used the sales@ my domain.

this is unsolicited mail (SPAM)

 

[xbroshost]

agree with easyhostmedia should have to report them.

Well, it depends.. As a business owner you need to understand that you're susceptible to being contacted by various other businesses trying to partner with you or offer you a service that is relative to yours in some way or another.

It's no different than a brick-n-mortar business owner receiving cold calls and stop-ins by sales representatives, other business owners, ect.. They could have simply visited your website and decided to contact you.. What is wrong with that?.. How do you expect them to contact you if they don't email you?..

Now, if you tell them that you're not interested in what they have to offer and they still keep sending emails, then I would label them as spammers. Or if they initially sent multiple emails.. One email and then a follow-up, if no reply is received, is not bad at all IMHO. :thumbup:

but sending 1 email and then you telling them to stop as you are not interested, but they continue,so you report them as spammers and they they start sending these through your support ticket system i would consider this spam from a spammer. by them sending though support system this does not leave an email header leading to them or the originating IP/server, but with the server loga and the system taking the sender IP, they are still traceable, but its harder for ISPs to take these reports as they dont have full headers leading to the exact sender on their network.

I remember someone telling me a number of years ago that the solution to the spam problem was to some how charge one penny per email!

Not quite sure on that one, but if I had a penny for every email that gets sent...hate to think how much that would be

difference from running a hosting business to sunning yourself on a beach in Barbados

Apparently in 2010 it was estimated that 294 billion emails were sent a day..... 2.8 million a second. How communication has changed in the last twenty years or so!!

true, just think gordon, you are in London and i am in Northumberland.

if either were to seds a snail mail letter to each other it would take 2 days or if we were to snail mail to USA upto 14 days. send email it arrives in seconds.
