TotalBlock goes for Webmail feature

Local anti-spam vendor adds Webmail capabilities for a three-in-one offering.

TotalBlock has added webmail capability to its anti-spam solution, giving it a three-in-one offering, as it also guards against network overloads caused by storming, harvesting and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

Peter Stewart, CEO of TotalBlock, said the company introduced Webmail in response to customer demand. Users need to log-in once to use the new facility and check TotalBlock’s control panel.

“The addition of webmail makes TotalBlock a truly unique solution which will appeal to a range of resellers targeting the consumer, SME and enterprise markets. We are seeking channel partners in all these categories.”

TotalBlock’s challenge-response technology blocks all email from sources unknown to the user. Legitimate emailers respond to the challenge, but machine-generated spam is blocked.

The Internet-accessible control panel allows users to authorise specific senders or domains, or to free any blocked emails they might want to read, said Stewart.
