February 2003 - Cracking Down on Spam Part III

In previous Newsletters, we expressed our passion for cracking down on SPAM and deceasing it's volume.  This Newsletter offers additional tips and techniques; things you can and should do to minimize your intake.

Protect Your E-mail Addresses - It's an Approach!

SPAM propagators are adept at getting YOUR e-mail address on THEIR lists.  They guess it, steal it from public records or buy lists from others. Once they have yours, it is nearly impossible to 'get it back'. The following high level tips are explained in more detail at the Web Panache Support Site:

  • Create addresses with a mixture of numbers and letters
  • Avoid typical prefixes such as info, contact, support and sales. These are the most easily guessed, and the most commonly abused.
  • Create 'junk addresses'
  • Share your business addresses with business acquaintances only.
  • Create personal addresses for communication with friends and family only.
  • Use technical methods

Technical Methods; Combating SPAM at the Server Level
May decrease your intake by 99.9%!

As a Web Panache customer, you are more equipped than some to win the SPAM battle.  We have engineered several technical methods.  Please visit your Web Panache Support Site for detailed instructions on:

Domain Name Renewals through Web Panache

Many of you registered your domain names through registrars such as Network Solutions or Register.com.  Web Panache is pleased to announce that we have selected OpenSRS as our registrar of choice, and are now able to purchase or renew domain names for you at a lower rate.  As your domain names come up for renewal, you will receive an automated e-mail from us asking if you wish to 'transfer registrars'.  Not only will transferring save you money, but it allows you to conveniently keep your registration and hosting services within one trusted organization - ours!  If you do not wish to transfer your domain name registration, simply select 'No thank you' when the e-mail arrives.  We will stop tracking that name.

Happy 'webbing'!
Your friends at Web Panache
