SecureLine Offers TLS-Only Enforced Outbound Email Encryption

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

LuxSci’s SecureLine end-to-end email filtering solution has been augmented with a new, optional, outbound email encryption option: “TLS Only”.

SecureLine accounts that enable “TLS Only” can have their outbound email delivered over an SMTP TLS encrypted channel to recipients whose email services support it.  This mitigates the need for using PGP, S/MIME, or SecureLine Escrow message pickup service for many secure outbound email messages — if TLS message transport encryption is “good enough” for your organization (i.e. it is for HIPAA compliance and it is for most bank-to-bank communications).

Premium High Volume Outbound Email Service

Monday, June 1st, 2009

High Volume EmailLuxSci’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!

High Volume EmailWe 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.

Enforcing Email Security with TLS when Communicating with Banks

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

LuxSci has had many requests from clients who have to communicate with various banks and other security-conscious organizations asking that LuxSci “enforce the encryption of email when sent to those organizations’  email servers via TLS”.  This is such a common request, that I wanted to explain what it means, why it is good, how LuxSci does this by default, and the extra step that LuxSci can take to lock down things even more for you.
