Internet Content Filtering

SurfersNet provides anti-spam filtering software for all e-mail accounts. This feature stops e-mail with certain keywords in the subject line and/or the text from even getting to your inbox. SurfersNet has compiled a list of words and phrases used to filter e-mails and welcomes input from members to help stop unwanted e-mail. If you wish to receive all e-mails coming to your account, simply let us know and we can shut off this feature for your account(s).

SurfersNet also offers these additional safety features to its members at no extra cost:

Surf-a-Dex

This members-only feature allows you to keep your address book online. Once you have added "cards" to your Surf-a-Dex, you can search for them by name, company, number (or partial number, such as area code), e-mail. The Surf-a-Dex will return all matching entries and allow you to print, modify, or delete each record.

The Surf-a-Dex also features an emergency number list. You can add names and numbers to this list, then print them out to put on the refrigerator, leave for the baby-sitter, etc.

Another unique feature of the Surf-a-Dex is the pre-formatted letter and envelope function. When you search for records in the long format in the Surf-a-Dex, you have the option of creating an envelope or letter for each contact. When you choose the envelope, a printer-ready envelope of any standard size (specify in your page setup of your browser) is created for you with your return address and the address of the contact. When you choose the letter, a standard (8 1/2 X 11) business format letter is created for you with the address of the contact already filled in. You write the body of the letter and choose the closing. The Surf-a-Dex will do the rest for you. The letter is ready to print and mail.
