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.

The past few weeks we have been working hard on making some major changes to the AltmanTC.com website.  Most of the changes are already live so please take a look around and let us know what you think.

First we had to do a lot of work behind the scenes on the code itself to make it more flexible.  The main reason for this was to make it easier to keep the website up-to-date as we continue to fine-tune it.

After we got the initial legwork done on improving the code we got to work on improving the things that you can actually see.  When redesigning the website we had a few major goals:

• Improve the content on the website by adding more useful information
• Make the website design more intuitive so it is easier to find what you are looking for
• Improve communication with our valued partners and clients by seamlessly integrating the new company blog into the website

We feel that we have made a lot of progress towards meeting those goals and we hope that you agree.  Please feel free to leave us some feedback on the new design by posting your comments on this blog.  We would love to hear what else we can do to help make our website more helpful and easier to use.  As always, thank you for your business.
