Dasia Transition
To all of our new Dasia DSL Customers,
Let me begin by saying welcome and thank you for placing your trust in Perigee.net. We hope that we can exceed your expectations for service and provide you with a high quality ISP for all of your current and future needs.
Background
January has been a challenging month for Perigee and our new Dasia DSL customers. We have tried hard to make the migration as painless as we possibly could, although some were more painful than others. As usuual in these types of situations, it was the unforeseen things that created most of the excitement. I promised several of you a quick recap of some of the issues we faced during this migration after we were done. Among other things, this letter should help with that. Some of you mentioned you felt there was lacking or conflicting information given during the process and, hopefully, the information here will fill in some of the gaps.

EKnoculate your Corporate Email!
Even if Perigee does not currently host your company's domain, Perigee's E-knockulate TM email gateway service can block spam and viruses from ever getting to your corporate email server for only $144/year! This service allows a company whose other Internet access services are from other providers to enjoy the spam and virus free email that Perigee's customers already enjoy!
The impact of Viruses and Spam on your corporate network is getting bigger everyday. The cost of buying additional bandwidth, dis-infecting your user's computers and sifting through piles of junk mail continues to mount.
The best solution is to let us do all the work. By routing your mail through our mail servers, Perigee will block all the viruses AND give you the tools you need to block spam for your whole domain before either ever reaches your mail server! You can even firewall off access to your mail server so the automated programs searching for vulnerable mail servers can't even see your mail server!

DSL Setup Help
DSL has been around long enough now that it is not unusual for people to switch between providers and keep their DSL routers just like they would if they were using a modem to dial into an ISP. Although Perigee can support most any DSL router, you must still be able to configure your router to use Perigee.net's account information. The following information may help you in making these changes to your router.
1) Find the IP Address of your DSL Router or Gateway. There are several ways to determine this, but one consistent way on a Microsoft computer is to run the IPCONFIG command line program. You will need to access a command line prompt to run this program. On Windows XP, click on Run and type "CMD" in the "Open" entry field. On Windows Vista or 7, you can type CMD into the search field and hit the enter key.
After accessing a command line prompt, type IPCONFIG. You will see a lot of data, so look for the line that says "Default Gateway . . . .". The IP Address on that line is typically your DSL router.

Spam Filter FAQ
To help answer some of your questions, we have put together an FAQ to help you understand the capabilities of the new spam filtering system and how you can customize its use for your email account.
One question we get frequently is what spam threshold should you use for your account. This is addressed in the FAQ, but just be aware that some spam will get through if you leave the spam threshold set to the default of 7. We felt we needed to err on the side of caution when we set the default threshold to 7.
If you want to reduce spam, you'll need to lower this a little. As a first try, we would recommend that you lower the threshold on your account to 5.
For more information, please read through Perigee's Spam Filter - Frequently Asked Questions. |
