• 26/08/2003 - Due to Blaster Virus and SoBig virus alerts, Unihost were astounded at the sheer volume of email traffic generated by these two nasties. As a result a few may have noticed the email service being unavailable for certain periods of the day. This was due to a major overhaul of the email systems, and after a few teething issues, service should now have been resumed as usual. This has allowed us to put various measures in place to help safeguard our customers. All incoming emails through Unihost infrastructure are now scanned for known virus instances, and virus bound emails found will be quarantined. This is because in 99.99% of cases the email usually contains no useful informations anyway. In addition some types of attachment are automatically blocked by default, these are usually attachments which are not normally sent, except by virus (.pif for example).
• 24/08/2003 - In an effort to combat the worldwide SPAM problem, we have added some extra SPAM countermeasures. We hope this will contimue to reduce the quantity of SPAM received by our customers.
