VIPES uses industry-leading anti-spam and anti-phishing techniques to protect every account. On the server side, VIPES uses a variety of spam filtering tools, including multiple Real-Time Blackhole List lookups, relay blocking, header inspection, and an advanced heuristics engine. At the individual account level you can maintain your own "safe" and "block" lists to further protect your inbox and to individually define senders as either "good" or "bad".

VIPES performs server-side virus scanning to scan each message before it reaches your inbox. If a message contains a parasitic virus that can be removed, our system will attempt to clean it. Trojan horse viruses are stripped, and you receive a clean message. Our virus definitions are updated hourly to guard against new threats.

Extra Protection for Critical or Confidential Material

VIPES users also enjoy the ability to send encrypted files. SecureSend™, VIPES' encrypted file transfer feature, lets you send files with complete confidence, knowing that your confidential data will remain secure. SecureSend uses both asynchronous 128-bit triple-DES and synchronous AES encryption to ensure safe delivery of critical data.
