Background:
Our virtual servers have had a security audit and upgrade to bring it into line with the Australian servers configurations and setup. As part of this upgrade [implemented on the 23.Jan 2006] we have replaced the Spam Assassin module in CPanel with Mail-Scanner.
Mail-Scanner is a far more powerful tool in the blocking or spam and viruses in your emails. It did however take a bit of configuring to get the best use out of it. Please take the time to read thru our MailScanner pages how to use the functions.

NOTE:
Most ISPs and many other Hosting providers charge an additional yearly fee for implementing these services for their users -
There is NO additional charges on our host for this service :-)
