Listen to Our Clients:

"Lux Scientiae provides reliable backups, efficient spam-filtering, and first-rate customer service. Although the last anti-spam service I used was offering IMAP accounts, customer service was only provided through an e-mail list, and I couldn't get information about basic issues like storage and backup. Lux Scientiae even re-wrote some of the code for the WebMail to provide better compatibility with my Mac OSX web browser."
