 Whether you send a modest number of messages for business purposes or millions for marketing, the disposition of these messages — successfully delivered, failures, and which are “still trying” is valuable information.
This “delivery status tracking” is key to:
- Ensuring that the correct people have received your messages
- Ensuring that mailing campaigns are being delivered properly to recipients’ mail boxes
- Pruning mailing lists of invalid addresses
- Checking the status of specific messages

 LuxSci’s Widgets and Workspaces enable customers to create custom interfaces to work with our products in a way most appropriate to their business and workflow. They can create sharable spaces (Workspaces) and populate these with tools (Widgets) such as calendars, task boards, note pads, blogs, file storage areas, etc.
LuxSci has had a couple of Widgets that customers can use for interacting with their email including seeing new messages as they come in. Now, customers can add “Email Composition” widgets to their workspaces to view new email and compose email at the same time in the same workspace.

 Generally, when you send an email message and it fails to be delivered, you get a “bounce back” to inform you of this. This delivery failure notification system is inherent in the way email works and does a good job, in general. However, it has some serious limitations:
- The failure notice is spam filtered or otherwise lost, you will never know the message wasn’t delivered.
- Email spoofing is prevalent and that can cause you to receive all kinds of “backscatter” failure notices about messages that you never sent. As a result, you may be blocking or deleting failure messages or may merely not notice a real failure notice amidst the back scatter garbage.
- The failure messages are long and in varied formats. It may be difficult for the average person to determine the actual reason for the failure.
- If you have many failure messages (e.g. because you are sending out a newsletter) it is hard to convert a bunch of failure messages into a list of failed recipients together with the reasons for the failures.
- It is not simple for a manager to get reports of send failures by his/her staff … which may be very important so that business opportunities are not lost.

 What happened to that email message that I sent 3 days ago? It “never arrived!”.
Our Support team fields this kind of question on a daily basis. Usually the message never arrived because the address was misspelled, the message was never actually sent, or it was filtered by the recipient’s servers. There are many other reasons why messages “disappear” as well.
Customers sending email to mailing lists (e.g. those using LuxSci High Volume services), often want an easy way to find out what addresses failed and why, and to know for sure what messages were delivered properly.
Now, LuxSci customers can see for themselves exactly what messages have been sent and track them to learn what the disposition of any particular message to any recipient is at any time. The new reporting tools are fast, easy, and no longer require the assistance of Support.

 It is often thought that Viruses and Malware are the biggest threats to your personal information, but there is even a greater threat that often goes undetected. Social Engineering is a technique used by people to gather your personal or secure information without you even thinking twice about giving it away. Social Engineering is most often performed over the phone, but could just as easily be done via email, text messaging, or any other form of communication; you can be Social Engineered by anyone.
In the most basic form, Social Engineering is when someone poses as someone else (i.e. a trusted friend or colleague) to trick you into divulging sensitive information. ”Hey, this is PayPal, please follow this link and re-enter all your banking details — its ok, really!”

 Customers often ask how they can know if a message has been read by a specific recipient. Typically, this is done by requesting a “Read Receipt” when sending the message; however, read receipts are not reliable. Spammers use techniques such as HTML “web bug” tracking to see if you have read an email message and thus if your email address is valid and ripe for more spamming; this is also not reliable. LuxSci’s SecureLine Escrow service includes a 100% reliable Read Receipt function that can be used when it is essential to know if someone has read a message. It also allows for message retraction (removing further access to an email message).
This article goes over these various methods of determining if a message has been read, shows how each works, and discusses the pros and cons of each.

 LuxSci has introduced a number of per-domain security features that allow us to offer accounts that contain both HIPAA-complaint domains and non-compliant domains.
Previously, customers could order such a combination of domains, but they were segregated into completely separate accounts. These new security features benefit our customers because:

 LuxSci has made several enhancements to its WebAide Calendar features. These include an improved printable Monthly view of your calendars and the ability to have event attachments in email messages auto-added to your calendars
Email To Calendar
WebAide-licensed users can now create Custom Email Filters that match selected messages with calendar attachments (e.g. events, invitations, iCal files, etc.) and have these items automatically added to a calendar of their choice.
This feature allows users who frequently receive events by email to have these automatically populate their calendars without any action needed. Once in their calendars, these events are immediately visible in LuxSci’s web interface and immediately synchronize with users’ mobile devices via our Mobile Sync service.
