Premium High Volume Email Sending

Basic and Premium High Volume

LuxSci's High Volume Email Sending Service includes two service options, Basic and Premium. Basic High Volume is a stand-alone SMTP-only service that is available by special order only for customer with large-scale SMTP relaying needs.

Premium High Volume is an add-on to Business Email Hosting which provides full featured email sending with high limits. Both options have the same set of capabilities and reporting options that you need to send your emails and to track their status. The Premium High Volume service provides more extensive security options, such as HIPAA compliance, outbound email encryption, email archival, and additional administrative features and controls.

Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers are used for all Basic High Volume customers and are available for to Premium High Volume customers we all. Dedicated servers are ideal for IP reputation management and consistent sending throughput.

Feature	Basic	Premium
Dedicated IP Address
SLA (Service Level Agreement) includes 100% network and infrastructure guarantee
Separation from other customers ensures you aren't affected by their usage patterns or reputation
Branded Email Headers [Optional]
Dedicated server customers can choose to have the headers of all outbound messages "branded" with their domain name and organization and with all references to LuxSci and "High Volume" removed: Hostname: the server hostname that appears in the mail headers will be your server name (e.g.. "rs999.yourdomain.com" instead of ours (e.g. "rs999.luxhv.com") Reverse DNS: Anyone looking up the hostname of your server from its IP address will get your custom hostname back, and not a LuxSci server name. Abuse Email: Include your own "Abuse Reporting" email address in the headers instead of ours (though the emails will still be routed to us). Powered by: Include your own "Powered by" header line in place of our "LuxSci High Volume" header line.

Delivery

LuxSci's High Volume Email Service provides a robust set of features to maximize prompt delivery of your emails.

Feature	Basic	Premium
Use Your Own From Addresses
You can only send messages from an email address in a domain that you own. Addresses from "free email services (e.g., hotmail)" are prohibited. Basic Service users can send from multiple "from addresses" or domains that have been approved by LuxSci Support. Premium Service users can send from any email address in a domain that they own or manage, the approval step is not required.
Reverse DNS (rDNS) records
Reverse DNS records point the IP address of your email server to the server's domain name. This information reduces the risk of the receiving server viewing the email as spam.
Alternate SMTP Ports
Alternate ports for SMTP access: 80, 465, 587, 2025, 6025, and 6465. If firewalls or ISPs attempt to block your messages, sending your email via these alternate ports helps ensure that your messages are delivered.
DKIM - Sign outbound messages
DKIM allows receiving email servers to feel more confident that the email originated from the listed domain, increasing the deliverability of your message.
SPF/SenderID
SPF and Sender ID authentication information is used by receiving email servers that are checking for spam. The existence of this information reduces the chance that your email is blocked.
Anonymous SMTP - IP Masking
Anonymous SMTP hides the IP address of the computer or server that is sending the message. This feature increases deliverability when you are sending from an ISP or location that is blocked or has a poor reputation.
IP Monitoring
LuxSci checks its server IP addresses to make sure that they are not on blacklist databases and to immediately alert us of any blacklisting issues so that they can be immediately addressed.
Graylist and blacklist resolution
LuxSci works to resolve problems that may have resulted in your IP being gray or blacklisted.
