Enhanced Email Security
We are pleased to announce we have completed the first step in the update to our email system. This will improve the security and reliability of your mail handling. As part of this upgrade, we have introduced new software at the start of our email flow (on the inbound MX servers). This advanced system now evaluates incoming emails to determine if they are legitimate.
If an email fails to meet the required standards or appears very suspicious, it will be blocked at the entry point, in accordance with RFC guidelines for mail transport. This is a crucial first step toward creating a safer and more secure email environment for everyone.
How It Works
The new system assesses each incoming email based on a variety of industry standard criteria to determine its legitimacy. If we are confident that an email is not legitimate, it will be blocked. This helps reduce the risk of phishing attempts, and other malicious content, reaching your inbox.
Your Support Needed
To ensure the best possible experience with this new system, we need your help. We have already identified a number of legitimate mailing list servers that we know are trustworthy. However, if you receive emails from a known mailing list server that is not yet on our list, please let us know so we can add it. This will help reduce the chances of legitimate emails being mistakenly flagged as suspicious.
Next Steps
We are currently in the starting phase of this new system and will be working to refine its settings over time. For now we are focused on blocking opius Evil mails as soon as possible, but this new software is also capable of doing mail content filtering. As the system becomes more sophisticated, we will be able to differentiate between legitimate mailing lists and fake ones with greater precision.
Your feedback is invaluable during this transition period. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions on how we can improve the system, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to create a safer email environment.
