IP Database (IPDB)
We have developed the technology to build a database of all registered IP addresses on the Internet, which is updated on a daily basis. This allows us to identify the country that incoming connections are coming from and take appropriate action.
Some countries seem to generate more spam than others and if no genuine e-mail is expected from those countries they can easily be blocked thus reducing spam and improving the overall service and experience for users. Nothing is more annoying than getting an inbox full of spam and we are constantly developing new measure to reduce this.
The IPDB Service is used by the SMTP Service and the POP3 Service for security measures. You could even use it in your own software for providing geographic information based on a client's IP address when they connect to any network service. Contact us if you would like more details about how to use IPDB in your own software.
