Technical information
From your point of view, e-mail will still arrive at your ISP or corporate mail server as normal, and you can deal with your e-mail in exactly the same way as normal.
The only difference is that before arriving at your server, it will have been filtered through one of our scanning servers.
The way in which routing for mail being scanned by KillTheJunk.com takes place is simple. At the time of signup, we will confirm with you which of your servers should be the ultimate destination for the domain(s) to be scanned. These will normally correspond to those pointed at by the current MX records for your domain. We will then set up an internal 'routing table' with this information in.
Once the KillTheJunk.com service has been enabled for a domain, the only change which needs to be made is that the MX records for the domain in question are changed to point to our servers. You need two MX records:
- Priority 10: mailscan1.KillTheJunk.com
- Priority 20: mailscan2.KillTheJunk.com
When this change has been made, mail from external hosts will then arrive via our servers. After scanning, mail which is accepted will then be passed to your usual servers, via the routing tables discussed earlier.
Our system also uses intelligent call-forward checks for invalid recipients - when we receive a mail, we'll do an SMTP callout to your server to ensure the recipient is valid. If it's not, we'll reject it outright at an early stage, so you are freed from dealing with mails to invalid recipients.
