Commencing at midnight, August 15th, 2007 we will start relaying mail using the two new subnets announced a few weeks ago. We have also provided a helpful guide to setting up IP restrictions with Exchange 2003. It is also recommended that you enforce IP restrictions on your firewall depending on your network topology.

Straight from the Own Web Now Blog:

ExchangeDefender v3.1 core is now live.

Over the next five days we will go through the core aspects of ExchangeDefender and all the new features. We will provide ample screenshots and feature details so you can best implement ExchangeDefender in your day-to-day email management.

Keep an eye on our blog at http://www.ownwebnow.com/blog

Today ExchangeDefender subscribers will be getting a free new feature called LiveArchive.  I am very excited about this new feature because it will allow businesses to keep using their company e-mail accounts even if their mail server isn’t accessible for some reason.  If you don’t have the ExchangeDefender service and would like to find out more about it please let me know.  I’ll be glad to send you more information and help you get setup.  It has cut the time I spend dealing with junk e-mail down to less than 5 minutes a day.

Here is a copy of the announcement on the Own Web Now Blog:

We are very excited to announce that after months of development and beta testing, ExchangeDefender LiveArchive is officially launching this Monday, August 6th, 2007.

What is LiveArchive you ask? LiveArchive is a provision for business continuity - to allow your business to stay in business and keep on communicating even if your mail server, Internet connection or other means interfere with the mail flow to your mailbox. As e-mail is being processed by ExchangeDefender it is copied to a live mail server. The original message is delivered to your corporate mail server or sits in the queue if your mail server is down. At any time you have access to the past seven days of email via secure, web based interface available from anywhere you can browse the web. The connection is secured using commerce-grade SSL, the logins and access are audited for compliance purposes and even on-disk encryption is supported.

The best part? Well, it’s free. Yes, free as in each mailbox you currently have protected by ExchangeDefender can have a LiveArchive feature enabled through the control panel at no additional cost to you. As an additional show of appreciation for our community, LiveArchive is offered free of charge to the Florida government organizations and emergency operations during the hurricane season and has been in beta testing since March.
