What is "Spam"?
If you have been online long enough, you've
no doubt received a number of "junk" emails. Some take the shape of
"Make Money Fast" schemes. Others promise exciting new products or
services, often amounting to nothing more than scams asking you to
send money to a random address. Still others simply occupy space in
your mailbox, asking you to forward chain letters around the world
or visit a particular Web site.
In the Internet community, unsolicited
commercial email is called Spam. And Spam is more than annoying to
Internet users; it also seriously affects the efficiency of the
network and servers through which mail is delivered. That’s because
Spammers take advantage of the low cost of email by sending hundreds
of thousands or even millions of email solicitations at a time. Spam
attacks consume large amounts of bandwidth, clog email boxes, and
waste email readers´ time.

How is SingaporeWebsite.net Working
to Eliminate Spam?
As a provider of Internet network services
and management, SingaporeWebsite.net considers it an obligation to
put an end to spam. We respect your need for efficient,
cost-effective and interruption-free services, and we pride
ourselves on offering you one of the most scalable, reliable and
redundant networks available today.
To prevent non-customers from using our email
relay services, all of our SMTP services are password protected with
the account and password of our users. Please take your email
security seriously and help us to keep your email account from being
abused!
Often times, Spammers sign up for an account
with a service provider, and send Spam until their provider
terminates their account, at which time they painlessly move on to
another service provider. SingaporeWebsite.net protects all of our
customers from Spam by charging for Spam so that Spammers will
acquire a significant financially liability that doesn’t disappear
even if service is terminated. While this may sound like acceptance
of Spam, our true goal is to eliminate any economic incentive
Spammers may have - and thus prevent Spammers from being our
customers, even for a short while.

fully responsible for Sourced Spam or for Caused Spam will be
