MX-what?

Mx-filtering, mx-forwarding, whatever you want to call it - There are several terms for this used, and we can do it for you.

This type of account is specifically suited for those who already have a domain, and already have web hosting someplace else that provides no-frill email, but are still looking for more aggressive spam and email attachment control.

It is a fairly simple process for this to be done, the basic idea is this:

Setting it up:

• Specific MX-record made on your domain DNS pointed at our filtering server.
• Our mail server gets configured to acknowledge and respond to mail for your domain.

How it works:

• When a e-mail is sent to @yourdomain.com, the domain DNS record is looked up, and the mail server in question sends it to the IP listed in the MX record.
• Our servers receive the email first, runs it through the paces of spam and virus checking,throwing out the obvious candidates and flagging the questionable ones.
• After our server is finished processing your incoming mail, it is then next handed over to your existing mail server.
• No operational difference is seen or noticed, your email works just like it did before, but now with an added layer of protection before it gets to your inbox.

It really is that simple. Scary not more companies offer this, isn't it?

There is nothing else to it, This does require a few things however:

1. That you own your domain name! Why? because you will have to...
2. Have the ability to manage the records in it. ( Don't worry, if you are in a real pinch at this point, we can do [DNS Hosting] too!)

The mx-filtering account type is rather new to the ketnar.org service portfolio, but it is a service we have been doing over at [Servercave] for several colo and non colo hosting customers, which have all given it rave reviews. And due to its simplicity of setup and its simply staggering effectiveness at combating SPAM and making email virus a laughable joke, it is only logical that we adopt it into our systems over here.
