The perfect weapon against SPAM!

We at B Technologies have a brand new service to combat the ever growing threat of SPAM to small businesses.

SPAM messages waste time, disrupt work and often carry malicious attachments or links that threaten your systems.

We have recently launched a SPAM filtering solution which uses technology which ensures that your emails are filtered of SPAM before they get to you, using the latest anti-spam technology with 5 layers of filtering, thereby producing a number of benefits.
- The load (or pressure) on your server to process all the SPAM emails is decreased, therefore you may see an increase in system speed.
- The filtering screens Email for malicious software - such as computer viruses and spyware, and phishing (fraud based emails).
- The service is relatively fast to set up and can be activated in 1 or 2 days with the results starting to take effect within 2 working days.
- The SPAM filtering process uses the latest technology (IronPort Mail Security)and is highly successful, ensuring that approximately 95% (or more) of your SPAM will be rejected or captured. As SPAM continues to grow as a business challenge this service evolves to combat the increasing new threats.

Kind of feedback we have been receiving sound like this:
“Daniel this is working like a dream – thanks heaps. The boys are only getting one or two spam a day if any.”
“The spam is a LOT better, thanks very much. We only received 2 in the last 2 days they both said spam in front of them.”
“I had only 1 spam email today, and it went directly into my junk email folder. I have asked around and everyone is getting the same”

Personally we at B Technologies have also been using this service and have reduced our daily intake of SPAM from several hundred to only a couple.

Who owns a particular domain address?

Have you ever wondered who owns a particulra domain address? go to www.who.is and you can find out in less then a minute.

For example if you like the domain name www.bigbusiness.com and want to find out who owns it so you can make an offer to purchase it, this is the site to tell you what you need to know.

Also recently a couple of clients of ours stopped receiving their emails. We checked on who.is to see that their domain name registration has expired and we were able to pay for the renewal by checking the registration details which tell us which company the name is registered with.

This is a tool you will not need often but you will love it when you need it.

Protect your emails - backing them up is simple but if you lose them they are gone forever!

Following on from our last blog post, we have been asked by several clients about how to backup their email. There is a different answer for those using Mac, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Vista but I will start with the most common; Outlook 2007/2003/2002.

First you need to download a backup tool from the official Microsoft website. This is a small file and will take less than a minute to download. To install the file:

1. Turn off Outlook
2. Save the file to your computer
3. Run the program

To back up your emails you can find the instructions on the Microsoft website or follow these instructions:
1. Start Outlook
2. Under the 'file' menu you now have a 'backup' option, select it
3. In the new window select 'options'
4. here you have 3 selections to make:
1 - if you want an automatic reminder to help you backup regularly, check the box under the 'reminder heading, and select the number of days.
2 - under 'backup files' select which email folders you want to backup.
3 - Under 'file location' select the location where you want your emails backed up to. When you are done press 'OK'.

It’s that simple. Now the key is that when your computer has done a backup, you need to save the backup file onto a CD, DVD, USB, external hard drive or another computer to make sure it is safe in case something happens to your data.

BACK UP YOUR DATA REGULARLY!

P.S. To backup your files on Vista you can follow the instructions via this link.

Email Tip - Have you ever sent an email to the wrong email address?

When you start typing into the 'TO' field of an email, usually the email program you are using will give try to complete the email address that you are typing.

So if I start typing 'D' for example, I am given the opportunity to select from all the email addresses that I have used before, that start with 'D'.

But what happens if someone has changed their email address? Sometimes we end up selecting the wrong email address and send to a person's old email or work email.

There are two things you can do to avoid this:

1. If the person you are writing to is an actual 'contact' of yours, edit their details and remove any email addresses that are no longer used. You can do this by searching your address book and finding their name, or by double clicking on their email address in the 'TO' field (which will also take you to their contact card).

2.You can remove any old email addresses in the 'TO' field of a new email, by typing in the first letter of the email address, scrolling down to the email address using your up or down arrows, and pressing 'delete' when you have the email address selected that you want to get rid of.

Remember, sometimes even our email addresses need a spring (or summer) clean.
