Boxbe.com's Secure Email Service Redirects Unsolicited and Harmful Spam

Introduction

As in any web site on the Web, basic and small Catholic web site development also is required to follow web standards. One of these web standards are outlined by the Stanford Guidelines for Web Credibility (www.webcredibility.org/guidelines/). Stanford University says in their research on web credibility standards that it is important to make it easy for your site visitors to contact you as the web site administrator. This can be achieved by making all contact information about the site clear: phone number, physical address for mailing by post, and email address. This article will focus on how a Catholic web site developer can assist site visitors well through the use of an email address without obtaining unsolicited and harmful spam from spambots or spammers on the Web.

Email spam defined

Email spam is one of the problems all web site developers have to deal with. For small Catholic web site developers and bloggers on a shoestring budget, this can be easily dealt with without entailing additional cost. If you have installed in your site an email form with a PHP script that processes it and sends it to your email inbox, without the necessary precautions, it may obtain for you a lot of email spam. One way to overcome this uncontrolled flow of spam to your inbox is to create more complicated PHP scripts (or installing one such as PHP Mailer). A much easier way to solve this spam problem is to use Boxbe.com's secure email service. When you register for a Boxbe.com account, the site can help redirect all harmful and unsolicited spam to a public email account which you do not use officially.

Steps to take with Boxbe.com

The first thing to do is to lift out all references to your official email address in all pages, your contact information pages, and the PHP mail function of your PHP script. Then, replace this official email address with an email address you can create from Boxbe.com. This Boxbe email address can redirect all email messages to a public email address of your preference. You can then reserve your official email address for all formal communications with sites connected to your Catholic web site development work: such as the Google sites network, social networking sites, your web hosting service company, your blog hosting service, Catholic news sites, and other sites included in building your Catholic site, blog and social network.

Avail of the Boxbe.com widget

Any site that is well-optimized for the search engines will always be a public site, because it can be accessed by searchers using various search queries in their favorite search engines. With a Boxbe.com email widget, you can make it easier for searchers on the Web to contact you. Just get the script for the Boxbe.com email widget and paste it in web pages you that would facilitate contacting you by email. With this widget feature, those who are really seeking for information on Catholic web site development, blogging, and social networking, can easily send their email message to you. A Boxbe.com email widget secures your official email address from spambots that roam around the Web.

Using Boxbe.com's email service can help you redirect all unsolicited email messages to a public email address you do not use often. It also saves you a lot of email space for your official web developer email address.
