For a $1 monthly fee* per email account, Internet Nebraska will set up your mail to be filtered by the Tagged Message Delivery Agent -- we call it the MailAgent. When mail is sent to you, MailAgent checks to see if the sender is on your list of approved senders. If they are not, MailAgent mails the sender a message requesting they reply to it in order to get on your approved list. Since spammers hide their email identities, they will never get on your approved list. Once someone is on your approved list, they stay there until you take them off.

MailAgent also allows you to block mail from senders by putting them on a denied list.

We continue to offer Postini Services, too. Which of MailAgent or Postini is right for you?

• MailAgent does no virus checking or "sanitizing" of virus-infected email as Postini does.
• Postini does not require anyone to make a one-time reply to get on your approved list if you haven't already added them.
• Postini's methods allow some spam to get through which would never get past the MailAgent. This makes MailAgent a terrific choice for the accounts of children to whom it's especially important that no objectionable material be sent by strangers.

  Internet Nebraska President, Steve Reichenbach, set up MailAgent filtering for his gradeschool-aged children. "The logs indicate that the filter is blocking nearly nearly 20 spam messages per day --- many of them ads for sexually explicit Web sites. Since the filter was installed, not a single such message has made its way into their mailbox. The MailAgent filter has worked perfectly at protecting my children from such objectionable email."

• With either Postini or MailAgent, the service is completely controlled by you.
