Network Solutions Offers Cloudmark Spam and Virus Protection Service
(The Hosting News) – Domain and email services provider Network Solutions® now offers Cloudmark spam and virus protection for all email accounts. Cloudmark Authority® is a software solution that delivers the industry’s most effective and highest performing -spam, phishing and virus protection. This protection is now available to customers using any of Network Solutions’ email services, including nsMailâ„¢ and nsMail Pro.
The Cloudmark system was the first messaging security provider to truly offer customers a genuine voice in the fight against spam. Leveraging patented Advance Message Fingerprinting and sender intelligence technology, combined with feedback from a Global Threat network of trusted reporters, automated and anonymous traffic analysis and security expertise, only Cloudmark provides real-time automated response with unparalleled accuracy in stopping messaging threats and abuse across multiple vectors.
“Working with Cloudmark allows us to provide our customers with the industry’s fastest and most accurate response against spam attacks,†said Navin Ganeshan, senior director of Web Presence services for Network Solutions. “The patented, advanced content filtering capabilities, the networked collective intelligence along with Cloudmark’s messaging security expertise is what helps make this service one of the most effective in the industry.â€

Unlike many spam blockers, Cloudmark also protects against phishing attacks — a practice of luring unsuspecting Internet users to a fake website by using an authentic looking email in an attempt to steal passwords, account information or other sensitive data.
Since phishing schemes target small groups of Internet users, often targeting specific groups of people with invitations that appear to be from trusted vendors, most anti-spam solutions overlook phishing attempts. Cloudmark’s email services can identify the unique attributes of phishing attacks and quickly block them before they reach users.
The Cloudmark system provides Network Solutions with real-time and historical analytics down to the individual subscriber level, allowing for optimal protection for our small business email accounts. For more information, visit Network Solutions.

Network Solutions nsCensorship (Cloudmark Authority) is Great for Big Brother, But a Bust at Blocking Spam:

I read the above ‘press release’, and had to scoff at every other sentence. NS didn’t “offer’, they implemented, without warning (some say they received an email, but the email to me must have been eaten by Cloudmark).
I stopped receiving messages from a regular client, I’ve added her to my special filtering, and NS keeps asking me to have MY client send them an email so that her emails can be ‘checked’ for problems!
The big problem with this “filter” is that it is a “block”. There is no spam folder where you can go see which emails aren’t making it through. It seems to me that NS is just trying to cut their costs. There is no way for me, as a web host and email client, to see which emails are not coming through and which business I am losing.
How am I supposed to have a new-to-me, unknown-to-me, client send NS an emails so that their emails come through to me?
And the last paragraph above? NS has NO record of which emails are not coming through nor how many emails to my account are being blocked (they kept saying that this system was in my interest, because otherwise I would be receiving ’so many’ spam emails – but they had no ‘analytics’).
I guess I will be looking for a new host – one that gives me a wee bit of control over my incoming email!
And, I do seem to be receiving more junk mail than I used to. Go figure.
During the days when Network Solutions (NS) turned up the Cloudmark software on Oct 15, I was exchanging emails with my webdesigner while we remodelled part of my website (hosted by NS). Suddenly the emails were not getting through (no bounce message). Other emails went fine. We both scratched our heads. My web-designer later found that lots of his emails were not making it through NS. He eventually got an NS support guy to run the emails through the SPAM filter and found that his phone # (a regular US phone#) was being flagged and also the URL to a website he hosted where he expressed doubt about the official 9-11 story. I don’t agree with his opinions on 9-11, but censorship is unconstitutional, and this looks a lot like it. I wouldn’t have believed it if I was told the story, but I when I looked at the emails that didn’t make it through for me, behold they contained his phone number in the footer. Beware Cloudmark looks a lot like censorship.
Big Brother Has a Name, and that Name is CLOUDMARK: This 1984-ish content-based “spam signature” filter–used by Communist China’s largest email services for “filtering” (i.e. censorship)–gives Comcast, Network Solutions and many other major US Internet and web services providers complete control over what emails YOU are allowed to send or receive. With Cloudmark, they can define whatever they choose to be a “spam signature”, including the name of a cause they don’t support, or the business telephone numbers of people who do.
