Nothing is more important than the safety and
well being of our children. Access to information in today's society is essential and
the internet is the gateway to that information, yet unfettered access to the internet
is full of peril for our children. It is important that children learn how to use the
resources available while, at the same time, be protected from the undesirable influences
which are so prevalent. With this in mind, SurfBuddies has developed proven safe and
secure email applications designed to give children a safe experience while on line.
Child safe email accounts. Access
with any browser!
SurfBuddies WebMail
is a child safe email system which is designed to be accessed by any browser.
Your child is provided with their very own email account. SurfBuddies WebMail
provides the best protection from SPAM and protection against email from questionable
sources.
SPAM Firewall Protection
SurfBuddies uses a 4 level anti-SPAM protection firewall to eliminate unwanted
emails. Our SPAM firewall not only relies on known spammers black lists, but also
scans each message for a wide variety of spammers’ tricks. In short, our SPAM firewall
works very well.
Incoming emails are scanned and either approved, removed or quarantined. Quarantined
messages are placed in a special “Blocked Messages” folder on our servers which cannot
be accessed by the child. Only a responsible adult using the “Parent Password” can
view the messages in this folder. The blocked messages can then be deleted or the
sender approved, added to the child’s buddy list and the email moved into the child’s
inbox. Simple and effective!
