SPAM Filtering

Here at Terra World, we take your email very seriously. We recognize that email is critically important to both home and business users. However, like the rest of the internet, we must deal with the ever growing problem of SPAM. To counteract SPAM we have a very strict policy against releasing email addresses - we never share this customer information with anybody. Our mail servers also implement many anti-spam tactics designed to filter out as much bad mail as possible, while still providing useful mail services.

Our anti-spam methods are varied and complex, but consist primarily of utilizing real-time black lists (Spamhaus SBL, XBL, Spamcop, and our own internal list). These lists are designed to respond within a few minutes of a new source of spam (generally a zombie PC that doesn't know it's sending spam) - and block it. If you ever receive an error referencing Spamhaus or Spamcop it's because you, or someone recently assigned the same IP address, was sending spam! If this happens to you, scan your system with anti-virus and anti-spyware software immediately. After rejecting these sources of SPAM our system uses the most advanced anti-spam software in the world, Cloudmark, to identify possible spam with over 99% accuracy, with very few false positives. Cloudmark also provides Anti-Phishing and Anti-Scam protection with similar accuracy. By using these methods, our mail servers completely block on the order of one million spam messages per day!
