EnterTo™ Launches Innovative New Version of Email Technology
EnterTo Inc., a provider of free hosted email services announced the
release of Version 3 of its spam-free email system. Version 3 is
already in use by over 15,000 private users and adds various selectable
user browser interfaces as well as POP3 for other email client. In all
cases the system eliminates spam without spam filters or junk folders
or any ‘lost’ emails.
“It is astounding that only one in every twenty eight emails received
are legitimate and the scale of the problem continues to get worse (the
quarterly Sophos IT security report says spam sent to businesses
reached 96.5% in the June 2008 quarter),” said Jay Fink, COO of EnterTo
Inc. ”The existing industry approach of filtering out spam into junk
folders is swamped, despite huge investments of human effort trying to
keep spam filters up-to-date and working correctly. Users still have to
check their ‘junk’ location for any false positives or else ‘lose’
emails. EnterTo has a far better solution – and it’s free to private
users – financially supported by ads at the bottom of the email. We
invite you to try it for yourself - free.”
EnterTo’s technological approach to eliminating spam allocates, in the
background, unique email addresses to every email correspondent. Email
from all these addresses ends up in the recipients single inbox and
there is no need for a ‘junk’ email box. If a spam email is ever
received via one of these email addresses that address is simply
eliminated any legitimate user of that address is allocated a new one.
Email sent to eliminated addresses simply ‘bounces’ back to the sender
as a non-existent address. There are no filters to manage or update and
no ‘false positives’ or ‘lost’ emails.
E-mail spam, also known as "bulk e-mail" or "junk e-mail," involves
nearly identical messages sent to numerous recipients by e-mail – the
key aspects are that the email is unsolicited and is sent in bulk.
E-mail spam grew exponentially to over 100 billion emails per day as of
April 2008. Laws against spam have been sporadically implemented but
haven’t solved the problem which continues to frustrate and annoy
e-mail users as it wasted their time. In cost terms lost US
productivity reached $71 billion annually in 2007, $712 per employee,
according to a study conducted by Nucleus Research Inc. With legal
approaches unable to solve the problem the solution has been largely
left to technology. Complex techniques have been implemented to filter
and refuse spam based on the content of the e-mail, DNS-based blackhole
lists, greylisting, spamtraps, enforcing technical requirements of
e-mail (SMTP), checksumming systems to detect bulk email, and by
putting some sort of cost on the sender via a proof-of-work system or a
micropayment. Each method has strengths and weaknesses and each is
controversial due to its weaknesses but all end up redirecting
suspected spam to a ‘junk’ location. A July 2008 article in the Wall
Street Journal reported that for one of their journalists, “some 46% of
their ‘junk’ was legitimate messages that had been flagged as spam”. Website: http://www.enterto.com/
