 LuxSci’s authenticated smart hosting service has been enhanced to provide full compatibility with outbound SecureLine automatic email encryption, per-user taglines, per-user sending limits, per-user SMTP usage auditing, and more. It also makes integration with your existing email server or Exchange server very easy.
This new “intelligent” smart hosting feature takes the stream of inbound email coming from your server through a single LuxSci SMTP user and determines which actual user is sending the message, based on the “From” address in the message headers. The message is then treated as if it was sent by and authenticated by the LuxSci user with that address.

 The situation: your organization needs to collect information from clients through from(s) on your web site, but that information is sensitive. So, you need to be absolutely sure that the information is transferred from the users of your web site to you in as secure a fashion as possible. This means that
- no one but you (or optionally your authorized staff) can intercept or read the information,
- the information is never stored insecurely anywhere
- the information cannot be modified without your knowledge
Why would this high level of security and privacy be necessary? There are many cases where they are essential; some of these include:

 Do you feel secure? If so, you must be a good corporate citizen. You are on time every day, contribute effectively and courteously in meetings, and your appearance is impeccable. You could be a contender as Trump’s next Apprentice. Of course, no one knows that you’re more like Andrew Dice Clay when you email your co-workers and friends. Or do they???

 If you are allowing Mozilla FireFox or Thunderbird to remember passwords to web sites and/or email accounts in their Password Manager tool, you should know that these passwords are all stored in a plain text file (base64 encoded) on your computer’s disk drive. This file is accessible to anyone with administrative access to your computer. If you have any concerns about the possibility of other people accessing your computer and this gaining easy access to copies of the passwords that you are using, you really need to employ the “Master Password” feature of these programs.

 LuxSci has re-written its web-based Password management interface from the ground up to provide users with a fast, modern, featureful experience. The WebAides Passwords user interface now matches that of WebMail, Address Books, Calendars, and User Groups in AJAX-based Web 2.0 speed, data caching, and usability.
The Passwords WebAide provides:
- PGP-Encrypted online storage for all of the user names, passwords, and related information that most people have in abundance for logging in to countless web sites and devices. Every entry is separately encrypted using PGP. The PGP certificates are imported by you and/or generated by LuxSci. There is no need for the passwords to these PGP keys to ever be stored on LuxSci’ servers. This is a secure online solution.
- Shared access — you can have detailed control of who in your account, if anyone, can decrypt and access which passwords.
- Associated encrypted notes and attachments with each password so that you can store additional related information.
Consider LuxSci’s WebAide Passwords to be an “Online Lockbox” where you can securely store and share all of your passwords. This Lockbox can be accessed from anywhere that you have Internet access. The major changes that come along with these user interface enhancements include:

 Our sales staff has been asked this question countless times. It is a natural assumption that because SSL and TLS encryption of email (and web sites) requires use of an "SSL certificate", that one must buy an SSL certificate in order to use such a service. Fortunately, the answer is always
You do not need to buy your own SSL certificate to use secure email.
We’ll explain why.
