Proprietary Spam Control

[othellobloke]

This is Hostgator's only real flaw. Lack of an effective spam filtering resource on reseller accounts.

I don't want anyone to tell me ANYTHING about dedicated server hosting.

This has been a major issue, and I've raised it before... so raising it again.

I'm not a programmer of any sort - everyone knows about how excellent Akismet is. Can Hostgator not have trials on using Akismet? They have a commercial solution for email - judging by how affective it is on spam comments, if it's even 1% as affective, it'd stop THOUSANDS of emails for us. From Akismet website

Today your customers judge and compare you based on your email spam protection, tomorrow it will be your web spam protection. We can provide site-wide keys you can protect all of your customers with for less than you'd pay for a RBL subscription. If you'd like to license Akismet for a large number of customers or refer people to the service, we'd be happy to discuss volume licensing and referral arrangements, drop us a line.

Brent.. please look into it? http://akismet.com/commercial/ I've referred more than a few people to hostgator so I think it's reasonable to ask.

Emailed Brent about looking into using a commercial Akismet license for email.

Can any of the Gators respond?

Is that not just a wordpress plugin?

There's a commercial license for it that can be used for email.

Othello,

I can't find the information on it for email on their site. I'm looking here: http://akismet.com/development/ but those are all CMSes or forums. Do you have a link to integrating it with Exim?
