Spam Protection

Unwanted email can be frustrating and TOAST.net is committed in the fight against it.  We protect all email accounts from Spam using Real-time Blacklists (RBLs) and scanning messages for typical Spam content (get-rich-quick / pornographic material / etc.).  Our email servers reject over 50,000 messages/day, however, they are not perfect as spammers are always finding new ways to bypass filters.

Virus Protection

Hackers commonly spread viruses with email attachments that corrupt your computer.  TOAST.net email accounts are protected with anti-virus software and our server eliminates about 500 viruses a day.  Before delivering messages to you, we scan the message and any attachments for viruses.  If one is found, we delete the message before it ever gets to your mailbox.  Due to the nature of viruses, we cannot guarantee 100% protection.
