Why Does 3DPixel.net Charge For Enhanced Filtering?

This spam filtering project commenced in April 2008 as a small effort to reduce the amount of spam coming into the 3DPixel.net network. (Blog Entry). Since then it has turned into Trap25, a fully fledged transparent anti-spam system that fully integrates with the Plesk control panel. Trap25 blocks upwards of 600,000 emails per week (November 2009) and as such requires staff resources to maintain and constantly adapt to new spammer tricks.

3DPixel.net is committed to maintaining a suitable filter for all customers via the basic spam filtering option available on all accounts.
