New Update... Posted... FYI...
From Everyone.net Admins...
We have two announcements of upcoming changes to our environment.
First, in the past, our auto locking features have only been enabled on outbound spam caught by our spam detection engines. Starting June 14th, we are also going to start auto locking users based on feedback loop reports. Feedback loop reports are end users who were recipients of email from one of the Everyone.net users and clicked on a ‘this is spam/abuse’ link in their email/webmail. Our statistics on the thresholds we’re using do not show a significant increase in auto locks, but it will help control the overall spam going on, as yet another automatic tool to stop spam.
Second, with our recent password change scheme, some users are still at risk with their passwords being compromised and may never know this. Also on June 14th, we are implementing a rate limit for entering in a password incorrectly. After five (5) attempts for a password being entered incorrectly, our automated system will make the account inaccessible for a short period of time. Users experiencing sudden blackouts of email programs being unable to connect may want to log into web mail and change their password. All paid services have admins that can update their end-user passwords as needed to assist them with this.
As a reminder, please make sure you and your end-users adhere to the new password policy requirements we implemented at the beginning of April. This will help cut down on accounts being compromised by brute-force hacking a password.
If you have any questions, please open a support case and we'll be glad to help answer them.
Thank you,
