In addition to the basics of processing
and delivering email, we go to great lengths
to filter inappropriate content, block
spam, and protect your inbox from viruses.
Our Email also provides plenty of standard
options bundled with anytime, anywhere
access through a web-based portal, or synchronization
with any third party desktop, or PDA client
such as Outlook, Palm Desktop, and Eudora.

Server: |

Server
uptime is critical to the success of
your school’s Email service, at
Spiral we are proud to offer a guaranteed
99.98% uptime ensuring your email is
always accessible, and incoming mail
is always received just as quickly as
outgoing mail is delivered. Spiral Email
service also protects and monitors all
mail stored on the server, ensuring it
is fully backed up, and easily restorable

Virus
Scanning: |
| |
All
incoming and outgoing email attachments
and shared files are checked for viruses.
We use industry standard virus checkers
so as to reduce to the utmost degree
the possibility of a virus. This is not
a foolproof method, however, Spiral Systems
prides itself on the ability to detect
viruses before they can cause harm or
damage.

|
Spam
Blocking: |
| |
Spiral
Email stops delivery of unsolicited email
messages a.k.a. “Spam” by
identifying the senders originating address
for each incoming message and then comparing
it against a list of known "spammers",
discarding their messages and greatly
reducing the spam in a recipient's inbox.
