LuxSci provides all of its email and web hosting clients with an SMTP server that they can use with their email programs so that they can send email from anywhere in the world (provided they have an Internet connection). No matter if you are at work, at home, or traveling, you can always use our servers to reliably and consistently send email any time that you are connected to the Internet!

Authenticated: For your protection and to prevent SPAM, we do not provide "open relays". This just means that you must configure your email program to send your username and password when sending your email messages. This is easy to do and we have step-by-step instructions that are available to you for configuring most email programs. We also have a strict anti-spam policy.

Security: If you are security-conscious, LuxSci also offers "Secure SMTP", or SMTP over a secure SSL connection. This ensures that your username, password, and message contents are encrypted when you connect to our email servers. No one will be eavesdropping on your outgoing email connections! Account administrators can optionally force all of their users to use only secure connections for SMTP.

Additionally, all of LuxSci's email servers support "STARTTLS" and will automatically talk to other email servers securely if at all possible. I.e. if we re sending to another server that supports STARTTLS or another server with that support is talking to us, you email message will be automatically encrypted in transit between these servers.

Alternate Ports: If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or organization doesn't like you to use SMTP servers from other companies, LuxSci offers alternate ports that you can use to connect to our SMTP servers and thus get around your ISP's overly restrictive policies. LuxSci even provides SMTP services over port 80 to allow you to send email through even the strictest of firewalls.

Anonymous: If you are concerned about the recipients of your email messages knowing information such as the Internet address of the computer(s) from which you are sending your email messages, you may be interested in LuxSci's Anonymous SMTP sending service. Read more about Anonymous SMTP.

LuxSci's SMTP Services are complete, easy to use, and part of every email and web hosting package for which you order "SMTP Relaying". Please contact us if you have any questions!

Because of our strict anti-Spam policies and our desire to remain off of black lists for the good of all of our clients, we do not usually support the sending of email or newsletters to large distribution lists.

However, we have partnered with the company IntelliContact Pro. This company provides an excellent solution for managing and sending email newsletters and managing mailing lists and email marketing campaigns. We are not in the business of mass emailing and email marketing, and they are not in the email hosting business; we are happy to partner with a company that has as strong an anti-Spam ethic as we do.
