Several new Email Guard features have been added:
- The Email Guard portal for end users will now support versions of Netscape 4.x.
- Users can associate multiple email addresses (“alias email addresses”) to one primary email address. The Spam quarantine information for a set of associated email addresses is combined in a single Spam Quarantine Report sent to the primary email address, managed through one login in the portal, and controlled by one set of user configurations (for example, Allow/Deny lists). A single quarantine area is created and managed for each set of associated email addresses. All reporting information for each set of associated emails is combined in each report type.
- The Always Deny Link on the Spam Quarantine Report and the Always Deny Button on the portal is now optional, i.e. it can be disabled at the domain level for all users in the domain by the administrator. By default it is disabled.
- If you have multiple domains with the same users in each, we can now protect the additional domains at no additional charge using “domain aliases”.

LuxSci announces two new additions to our private labeling tools:
- Tag-lines. You can optionally create a tag-line that will be appended to all messages composed in WebMail by users of your private labeled theme. This tag-line can be any arbitrary text and is very useful for advertising or disclaimers. The tag-line can be specified in the “content block” configuration page in your theme manager.
- Logout Destination. You can optionally specify a link to redirect your users to when they logout. If specified, the logout links will redirect to these URLs instead of the standard private labeled login page. This URL can be specified in the “login pages” section of your theme manager.

LuxSci has just updated the file format used for all of your email folders. This new format has several benefits, including: 1. faster access, especially when you have lots of messages in the folder, and 2. concurrent access. Concurrent access means that you can access the SAME email folder from multiple email clients concurrently without issue. So, for example, multiple users can be connected via IMAP to the same email account at the same time!

From now on, each standard account may have data restored from backup free of charge up to once per month. Additional restorations incur our standard backup restoration fees ($25.00 or more, depending on the quantity of data to be restored and the time it takes).

LuxSci’s “Remote POP Email Fetching” tool, which allows you to have your email automatically downloaded to your LuxSci account from other POP accounts, has been modified to retrieve your email more frequently. From now on, email will be automatically retrieved on an hourly basis instead of every four hours, as had been the case in the past.

LuxSci has new automated account management features. Use a simple API built upon secure HTTP posts to create and manage users in your account remotely from programs or web sites. This facility allows you to tightly integrate your private labeled WebMail with your own web site(s) and user base. These automation tools enable you to programmatically perform actions such as creating and updating users, changing passwords, changing disk space limits, enabling, disabling and deleting users, and retrieving user data reports.

LuxSci has just implemented a more secure and more granular model for managing users’ access to your web server. Now, administrators can, at any time, select each individual user’s access to the web server from the following possibilities:
- No account: The user has no account on the web server at all
- No access: The user may have an account, but has no way of logging into or accessing it
- FTP access
- FTP and SCP (Secure Copy) access
- FTP, SCP, and SSH (Secure Shell) access with the tcsh shell
- FTP, SCP, and SSH (Secure Shell) access with the bash shell
Note that SCP access is now available independently of SSH access, and SSH access is granted only in special cases.

You now have the choice of logging into WebMail either securely over SSL (which you have until now been forced to do), or insecurely without SSL. This applies to both the Standard portal and to the Xpress portal. If you are on a very slow connection or find that SSL security makes WebMail access too slow for you, you can opt to not use security and thus achieve faster access. Note that if you choose to not use a secure connection, your username, password and all data will be sent in plain text over the Internet and could be intercepted by a third party. If you choose to use insecure access, you should change your password often.

LuxSci has just implemented many enhancements to its Email Aliases and Email Forwarding tools:
- Email aliases can now be explicitly configured to delete all incoming email.
- Email aliases can now bounce all incoming email with a custom bounce error message
- The Email Alias tool now has more advanced search and selection facilities.
- The Email Alias tool now supports a “view only” mode where it is easier to view the current settings for all of your aliases.
- Personal email forwarding, configurable though your WebMail Preferences, also supports the new “Bounce” and “Delete” delivery actions.

Several new Email Guard features have been added:
- We have updated the Spam Report and Quarantine User Index pages to include updated options:
- There are new options for when end-users receive their Spam Quarantine Reports: Never, Every Day, Every Weekday, Every Monday, Monday & Friday, Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
- We added a Spam Exempt Users list, accessible under the “Anti-Spam” section of the “Policies” tab. This feature allows end-users to opt-out of spam filtering (via their Spam Quarantine Reports) if the Administrator enables this option.
- We have added the ability to send Spam Quarantine Reports only to selected end-users in a given domain, instead of all or none.
- We have updated sorting for the following pages to support ascending and descending sorting including an up/down arrow: Domain, Customer, Reseller, Host, and User.
- We have updated all Quarantine pages by adding new up/down arrows for sorting to the header bar, and we have made the header bar style match the style used in similar pages, such as the Manage Customers page.
- We have added a new attachment policy for high-risk zip attachments (e.g. mod-arbomb). The actions associated with the policy include allow, quarantine, and deny.
- We have added an “accept” action for content filters. When a message triggers a content policy violation, and the policy action is set to “accept”, spam filtering will be skipped for that particular message.
- We have added an explicit “Do Nothing” action selection for “attachment type” policies. Now “Do Nothing” can be selected like any other action.
- We have added a file upload option for your “exempt users” list. You are now able to upload lists of exempt users directly from the Exempt Users page.
