Automatic replies can also be configured for different types of messages. Email can even be copied, forwarded, or redirected to an entirely different email account.

Worry-Free Security
All incoming messages are scanned by Webservio's SpamWeeder Premium anti-virus/spam filtering. This cloud-based service checks all emails for blatant spam, suspicious attachments, and other malicious content. Email security protects your office network and devices by preventing dangerous emails from ever making it to your inbox.
StrataMail also works with more advanced email security platforms that include content filtering, zero-day protection, DLP, encryption, email archiving, and more. Use our Spam Filtering Comparison Chart to find the solution with the features you need.
With StrataMail's VPS-hosted option, your company will have a private mail system with a dedicated IP. This arrangement provides better security, reliability, and more options for customization.

What Makes StrataMail Different?
Unless otherwise specified, most email services are in a shared environment. This means that your company is probably sharing an email server with many other people. Webservio does offer Shared StrataMail plans for small companies (less than 20 users). However, StrataMail really shines when deployed in a Virtual Private Server (VPS) environment. This type of mail system provides many advantages, including better security, reliability, and flexibility.
Multiple Layers of Security
Spam Filtering in the Cloud
All incoming messages are scanned by SpamWeeder Premium anti-virus/spam filtering system. You may also choose one of our other email security options for more advanced controls. Either way, these systems stop suspicious and potentially dangerous emails before they make it to your inbox.
Other email providers may also include filtering with their email solution. However, this is often a server-side application, meaning that the same mail server where your emails are stored is also processing all the spam emails. This arrangement is not as secure, and a spam attack could cause slower processing times or even cause the mail server to crash. All of Webservio's filtering systems are hosted in the cloud for better reliability and security.
Private Mail Server
With shared email, your company's email reputation is affected by the actions of every account on the server. If another user (not within your company) is sending out spammy emails or if their account is compromised by a hacker, that will reflect badly on you. It could mean that emails you send to your customers and business partners don't make it through because they are rejected by another spam filtering system. A StrataMail VPS email server eliminates this problem by providing you with a private email system and dedicated IP only used by your company.
Firewall Protection
A VPS environment can be "locked down" to only accept incoming email traffic from the anti-virus/spam filtering service you choose. You can dictate how and when your VPS is accessed by utilizing customized security policies. All of these controls are managed by a firewall appliance separate from the mail server that is accesible only to authorized Webservio personnel.
Email You Can Count On
StrataMail includes a 99.9% uptime guarantee (the same as Office 365). Webservio data facilities have layers of failover precautions, including multiple internet connections and backup power generators. For additional protection, StrataMail includes MX backup, which ensures that even if the mail server is temporarily unavailable your emails will be held until the connection is restored. Without this included service, emails would bounce back to the sender as undeliverable. StrataMail helps protect your business reputation.
Shared email systems can have slow processing and download speeds during periods of high usage. A VPS email system is allocated a certain amount of resources (disk space, RAM, CPU) to ensure optimal performance. If your business is growing, more resources can easily be added to accommodate the increased load on the server.
Portability and Backups
Using StrataMail on a VPS means that your company's email is in a private, self-contained server module. This configuration allows you to easily move or copy your email to a different server or different geographic location. With a VPS, you will never be tied to an outdated dedicated server or an overloaded shared system! The ability to move or copy the VPS means you could have a backup system for failover or use separate systems for different types of email users.
Scalable to Grow
You can also increase the size of the VPS server at any time. With VPS StrataMail, you don't have to try to predict your rate of growth in advance like you would with a dedicated system. Get only what you need right now and rest assured that it can adapt and expand along with your business!
Hybrid Deployment
You get the flexibility to choose the options that make sense for your business. For example, you could continue to use an in-house Exchange server for corporate accounts, utilize Office 365 for outside sales reps, and provide Webservio’s Stratamail to other employees. Choice means you can keep everybody happy! Giving teams the right features for their job role will improve overall team effectiveness. LEARN MORE
Advanced Email Managment
StrataMail allows each user to create custom email management policies that will automatically sort new emails into the correct folder. Automatic replies and email routing capabilities are also included. Since users are in control of their own policies, administrators do not have to be tasked with managing these features.
StrataMail's custom controls save time for everyone in the company by eliminating the need for tedious email sorting. Sales reps can use the autoresponder to send an immediate reply to lead inquiries with different responses depending on the email subject or body. A manager could use the email routing features to send different types of service requests to the appropriate technician. There are many ways StrataMail can help streamline your day-to-day operations.
Filter Rules
StrataMail users can create custom rules based on a variety of email attributes. Multiple rules can be added for each policy using OR/AND logic. The content of each rule can be specified as an exact match, contains, does not contain, greater than, less than, equal to, and more.
- Sender or Recipient
- Subject or Body Content
- Date
- Message Size
Message Actions
An action will be executed for emails that fit the policy criteria. Multiple actions can be specified for the same policy.

- Delete the message
- Add or remove flags
- Override or make exempt from other rules
