 LuxSci’s High Volume Outbound Email Sending Service, released earlier this year, has been a notable success. Our service permits the sending of legitimate bulk email messages and also provides reliable “smarthost” services. However, the offering is restricted to SMTP services and does not include the many outbound email processing tools present in LuxSci’s Premium Email service. I.e. see LuxSci Outbound Email: 5 Sending Options Compared!
Since High Volume Mail was offered, we have had many requests to send HIPAA-compliant bulk outbound email, i.e. newsletters and notices that contain protected health information (PHI) . In such cases, SecureLine should be used to encrypt the outbound email in a way that can be opened by any recipient, but which is still secure. Unfortunately, integration with SecureLine is not a feature of our Basic High Volume service.
LuxSci has responded by releasing Premium High Volume Outbound Email Service. This is essentially Premium Email hosting with:

 It used to be that to send an email, you had very few choices and even less control over what happened once the message was sent, how many emails you could send, or how you connected to the Internet to send email. Well, times have changed, the Internet has evolved, users are more savvy, and expectations are much higher.
Today, LuxSci offers five different ways to send outbound email, each geared to particular uses and needs. In this article, we will describe each method, examine the pros and cons, and end with a feature chart. Our goal is to make your outbound email shopping experience straightforward and to provide you with an email service appropriate for your needs.

 LuxSci users have a new setting whereby they can choose to have copies of all messages that they send via SMTP from their email programs automatically delivered to their “sent” email folder on the server. This is advantageous in that:

 LuxSci has long supported the concept of “capturing outbound (and inbound) email,” where copies of all outbound email for all users in a domain are sent to an email address of your choice (be it on LuxSci or elsewhere).
Now, this kind of automatic outbound email copying can be enabled and configured on a per-user basis. Each user can choose to forward copies of all outbound email (sent from WebMail or SMTP) to any single address of his/her choice; this address can be different for each user.

 Users of LuxSci’s High Volume Outbound Email Service send thousands of messages to opt-in distribution lists of clients and subscribers. However, as with any bulk mailing, there are always permanent failure bounces due to addresses that are no longer valid or other issues. Usually, managing these bounces is somewhat of a challenge; however, prompt removal of invalid email messages is one requirement of good netiquette when sending bulk mailings.
LuxSci offers a free tool to assist you in managing your email bounces:

 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.

Section 1: Introduction to Email Security
 You may already know that email is insecure; however, it may surprise you to learn just how insecure it really is. For example, did you know that messages which you thought were deleted years ago may be sitting on servers half-way around the world? Or that your messages can be read and modified in transit, even before they reach their destination? Or even that the username and password that you use to login to your email servers can be stolen and used by hackers?
This article is designed to teach you about how email really works, what the real security issues are, what solutions exist, and how you can avoid security risks.
Information Security and integrity are becoming more important as we use email for personal communication and business. While you are reading this article imagine how security problems can affect your business or personal life…. if they have not already.

We have seen a steadily growing demand from existing and potential clients to send legitimate bulk mailings to their clients and subscribers. LuxSci’s policy has always been to deny such requests and pass them along to a strategic partner, or to allow them on a case by case basis at a premium cost after carefully reviewing the intent. Why? So that the outbound email servers used by our premium customers do not get on blacklists. You don’t want to mix mass mailing with normal business correspondence!
To meet this demand, LuxSci now offers the High Volume Outbound Email Service.
