Popup Blocker!

At Infinity Internet, we are always searching for new ways to make our 
client’s online experience more enjoyable. Infinity Internet is thrilled to 
offer a FREE popup blocker to our valued customers. Connect to the new 
IINet Popup Blocker on line: http://help.iinet.com/popup-blocker.php

We also have some FAQ’s for you on the Popup Blocker. Please go to FAQ’s on 
this new product (http://help.iinet.com/faq.php) and click on the text link 
"IINet Popup Blocker" in the "Browsing the Web FAQ" section.

Mac and Netscape Users:

Our introduction of popup blocking software has been received very well. We 
realize that not everyone uses a windows PC and runs Internet Explorer, so 
for our customers using Macs, or those using Netscape, we would suggest 
giving Mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org) a try. It contains popup-blocking 
software, and is fast, reliable, and flexible.

Anti-Spam Program!

The Spam epidemic isn't just affecting E-mail users. The people who provide 
those services are being hit on the bottom line. Infinity Internet is 
registered on the Washington state Anti-spam Registry. This is a system 
very similar to the one planned under the new Federal Anti-spam Law. The 
registry relies upon spammers to stop sending to the people on it. But, the 
registry does not automatically block the spammers. 

This does not mean you are helpless. In fact, there are several layers of 
defense Infinity Internet uses. The first one, is filtering 90% of the mail 
before you ever see it. The trouble is, the remaining 10% can be 
overwhelming. So, the second line of defense comes from SpamAssassin. After 
logging to UserConsole (https://console.iinet.com), click on Email Tools 
then select Email Filtering from the drop down menu.

SpamAssassin is pretty effective. It resides on Infinity Internet's server, 
so there is nothing to download. You pick keywords that you do not want to 
get. Then you decide whether to mark the mail as Spam and it will be 
deleted before you ever see it. 

There is also free anti-spam software out there to download on to your 
computer. Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net) is one of them.

So to summarize, your Spam Defense is:

1.  Behind the Scenes - Infinity Internet filters out 90% of the spam 
before you ever see it.

2.  Infinity Internet Online Tools - SpamAssassin.  You can set your own 
filter levels (the next article - Spam Filtering - Custom Rules - describes 
how to use SpamAssassin).

3.  Downloadable Tools - Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net)!

4.  Extra E-mail Account - Have an account for online shopping etc. and a 
personal account.  If you use the first account for anything you submit 
online, then a majority of your Spam should end up there.  Doing that will 
free up your personal account.

5.  Treat your e-mail account as your own mailing address.  Hand it out 
only to those you know.

Referral Plan!

Spread the word and reap the benefits with our Friends and Family referral 
plan! Most of us already tell others who our Internet provider is, so why 
not get some credit for it?  With our Friends and Family Referral Program 
you can get credit on your account for referring people that sign up for 
our services.   So tell the people you know and see the savings!
