 One standard alternative to email outsourcing is to setup and manage your own email servers “in house”. While in some cases this may seem less expensive than outsourcing, you might not realize all of the features you sacrifice or all of the hidden costs that you incur if you want to do this right. By outsourcing with LuxSci, you can have email with maximal features at a lower total cost.
If you are considering email in house (or even at another outsourcing provider), you should consider the following…

A proprietary "Deep Content Analysis" filter has been added to our "Email Defense" Premium Email Filtering solutions. This anti-spam filter targets attachment-based spam variations, specifically PDF spam. PDF spam is the latest generation of image spam, which uses graphics instead of other masking techniques to conceal an unsolicited advertisement’s call to action.

Email Defense has been updated with several significant enhancements. These include an improved user interface and full support for Mozilla FireFox. Additionally, this new release includes the following significant addition:
Sender Policy Framework (SPF):
- We are adding a Sender Policy Framework classifier to the Spam detection system to help identify and block fraudulent “spoofing” emails — those sent by Spammers using forged “From” addresses.
- For each inbound message, the SPF classifier will look up the sending domain’s Domain Naming System (DNS) record and its list of authorized IP addresses (if such are specified). Messages that carry an IP address not found on the authorized list will be given a higher ‘spam-likelihood’ score.
- By determining whether or not the relationship between the DNS record and the IP address is legitimate, Email Defense can more accurately filter out fraudulent spoofed emails. As a result, this reduces risk for end-users who might be duped by the email into divulging confidential personal information.
- LuxSci supports the addition of entries to your DNS records which will support SPF — to help make it harder for Spammers to forge email from your domain. If you would like us to add an SPF record to your DNS entries or if you would like help in determining what SPF records to add yourself, contact our support team.

Email Guard is a service that has been replaced by Email Defense, but which is still used by a very large number of customers. Changes have been made within the Email Guard Portal and the individual Spam Quarantine Reports to accommodate this upgrade. Users of our Email Defense service already have these features in their Email Defense Portal
- User policy changes: Domain Policy and user lists can now be downloaded into an .xls spreadsheet format, including Exempt User Lists, Recipient Deny Lists, Anti-Spam Exempt Lists and Users Allow/Deny Lists. Also, after creating Spam Content Groups, messages that contain Spam keywords will be considered as Spam and put in a user’s Quarantine. With this feature both current content keywords and Spam content filtering keywords can both be defined
- User management changes: Administrators can adjust filtering policy actions for users, and can allow users to determine Spam reporting options. The upgrade also allows for the batch deletion of users.
- Time zone management: Users are now able to select a preferred Time Zone setting, which will then apply to all information with time stamps in the portal.
- Internationalization: Non-English characters within incoming email messages are decoded and displayed, and current content and Spam content filtering keywords in other languages are now supported.
