(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Messaging security firm Cloudmark (www.cloudmark.com) announced on Wednesday that Web hosting provider Network Solutions (www.networksolutions.com) has selected the company to provide spam, phishing and virus protection for Network Solutions' email subscribers.
By using mail transfer agent Cloudmark Gateway in combination with Cloudmark Authority, Network Solutions' hosted email customers will receive a fast, flexible and accurate message filtering solution.
After the company re-launched its Network Solutions' business class email solution in February, the company sought an advanced messaging solution that would offer increased spam and virus protection for hosted email customers, as well as increased operational efficiency.
The company decided on Cloudmark because of its continued accuracy in preventing messaging threats and abuse across multiple vectors.
Following the installation of the Cloudmark solution, Network Solutions has already seen an increase in its filtering accuracy by 10 to 15 percent, while letting the Web host scale as its customer base grows.
"Cloudmark gives us the ability to offer our customers the fastest and most accurate response against spam attacks," says Navin Ganeshan, senior director of Web presence services for Network Solutions. "For small businesses, email is a lifeline to their customers so it is very important to us that we offer our customers the most effective spam and virus protection software in the industry."
As a high-performance MTA, Cloudmark Gateway with Cloudmark Authority stops unwanted email from entering user inboxes and messaging infrastructure by performing intelligent protocol and content filtering at the perimeter of the hosted environment.
The combination of Advanced Message Fingerprinting technology and real-time corroborated feedback from Cloudmark's Global Threat Network system lets Cloudmark detect messaging abuse with about 98 percent accuracy and near-zero false positives. As a result, end users are protected against new threat outbreaks and attacks.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.

This new Cloudmark email blocking service has reduced my client emails! You say above it is flexible, but it is not. Emails never come intot he system and cannot be retrieved. There is no way for me, a Network solutions web hosting customer, to knwo that I am not receving emails from old or new clients. There is no bounce-back tot he sender and I get no notification of a block. Regular customer emails are now NOT coming in - or come through sometimes but not all the time. It is crap for this small business, whcih uses their webpage to attract new clients (a novel idea, I am sure)!

Cloudmark Authority: Boom for Big Brother, Bust as Spam Filter[Source: ldrlongdistancerider[dot]com/02 ] Euphemistically packaged and sold to the American Sheeple as a "spam filter", Cloudmark Authority is actually the email censorship software of choice in Communist China: tinyurl[dot]com/yb3vhx7Here in the United States, that same censorship system is installed on the email servers of many of our largest telecoms, internet service providers (ISPs), social networks and web hosting companies, including Network Solutions: cloudmark[dot]com/en/serviceproviders/Shortly after Network Solutions implemented Cloudmark Authority in late 2009, we and other Network Solutions clients became victims of its sinister Big Brother capabilities: tinyurl[dot]com/Defy-Cloudmark-AuthoritySince that time, we've experienced a regular pattern (see below) by which legitimate political email communications have either been blocked from being sent via SMTP, or blocked from being received via webmail or POP, or we have been blocked from receiving replies to those emails, or all of the above. In some cases, after multiple complaints, we have been able to get those blocks lifted. But in some cases, blocks that were lifted were eventually reactivated, even after we were assured by Network Solutions that such a thing "would not happen".Ironically, the number of unsolicited commercial emails (U.C.E. or "spam") delivered to our inboxes by Network Solutions has increased rather than decreased since they installed Cloudmark Authority (see below). So although our 1984-ish experiences validate Cloudmark Authority as a great censorship tool for Big Brother, as a spam blocker, spam filter or weapon against "messaging abuse", it's a bust.
