Just to put this into perspective kraya processed over 3/4 of a million emails in February of which 94% were rejected as spam.

However I would like to ask for your help with a few things that will help to improve the SPAM filters.

All Windows 7, Vista and XP users who currently use internet explorer will be offered a choice as part of the deal Microsoft reached with European Commission.

A pop-up window will prompt people to choose and install one of 12 different browsers or let them stick with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

Kraya recommends users choose anything but Internet explorer. Users are able to select any browser of their own choosing however we would strongly recommend users pick from our top picks:

Mozilla Firefox
Google Chrome
Opera
Safari
