In addition to the spam protection provided by the use of
disposable email
address, Neomailbox also provides a second level of defense
against unsolicited commercial email (UCE) in your mailbox, via
Vipul's Razor, the award-winning collaborative spam-detection
system.
Vipul Ved Prakash, the author of Razor, is a member of our board of
advisors and works closely with us, but that's not the only reason
we use Razor. Razor also happens to be the least intrusive and most effective anti-spam
system available today.
Unlike the case with blocking disposable email addresses, where
messages sent to addresses you have blocked are simply rejected, Razor
only inserts headers into messages that mark suspected spam or virus
mail.
You can then use these headers to filter messages into a Junk
folder using your email program.
How does it work?
Vipul's Razor is an award-winning spam identification system that takes a
peer-to-peer approach to the spam problem.
Razor was created by Vipul Ved
Prakash, a member of the Neomailbox advisory board, who was named one of the world's "Top 100 Innovators" by MIT Tech
Review in 2003.
Razor
works like this:
- Razor users all over the world report "spam signatures" of
unsolicited commercial email to a Razor server when they receive junk mail.
- The Razor server keeps track of spam signatures based on reported spam.
- Incoming mail is checked against known spam signatures on the Razor server as it arrives.
The privacy of your mail is not compromised in any way during this
process, since only a "hash signature" calculated from your message is
sent to the spam identification servers. This signature doesn't
contain any of the text of the message.
How do I use it?
If a message is known to the Razor server as spam, the following
header will be added to the message headers:
X-Razor-Spam: SPAM
You can set up your email program to file messages that contain this
header into a "Junk" mailbox.
Stay secure
All Neomailbox accounts also include unlimited disposable
email addresses at your own unique subdomain - another powerful

Our secure email accounts protect your privacy and security in many
more ways too.

identity thieves, or nosy employers, neighbours and government
agencies.

with a hardware token which eliminates the threat of having
your account access details stolen by malicious programs that may be
infecting a computer you use to access your account.
And that's not all. With our offshore secure email service you
also receive access to two separate state-of-the-art anonymous surfing proxies which
secure and anonymize your web surfing.
