Hostway Corp., today offered Web users help in the battle against spam email and damaging email-borne viruses with the introduction of CleanMail, a spam- and virus-blocking service integrated into Hostway’s hosting services at no additional charge.

Hostway said the new service is available to its customers worldwide, and will be included as a standard feature within all of its hosting and ecommerce plans purchased by new customers.

“With unsolicited commercial email cluttering inboxes and viruses bringing down entire networks, businesses and consumers need to protect themselves from attacks now more than ever,” said John Lee, Hostway’s Director of Marketing. “Hostway wholeheartedly supports legislative efforts to control spam and protect Internet users. Anti-spam laws are an important and appropriate way of addressing this issue. To augment the legislative approaches, Hostway is playing an active role in offering a technology-based solution. We’re very pleased to give our customers immediate and concrete help with these difficult problems.”

CleanMail helps block spam by classifying email and stops viruses before they can ever reach the intended recipient. Using advanced technology to search emails for known spam elements, it labels these messages by including “SPAM” directly in the subject line. This allows the recipient to quickly identify which messages are potential spam without the risk of losing those that are not.

“The fight against spam and viruses is serious,” said Lee. “Hostway has created aggressive technology to help our customers deal with this problem without risking lost messages. We can’t guarantee that 100 percent of all spam will be identified, but our new CleanMail offering will definitely help protect our customers.”
