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.

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 :-)

* "False Positive" is when an item is FALSELY identified as SPAM by Mail-Scanner
