WIth L-Mail your letters are in safe hands

30th March 2005

L-Mail are partners with GeoTrust, one of the world’s largest digital certificate providers, to offer 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption services to L-Mail customers. GeoTrust have more than 70,000 companies in over 140 countries using their technology for transaction security, identity verification and trust services on the Internet.

SSL allows the connection between your browser and the L-Mail server to be encrypted. After the connection is made, the information transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted securely and is therefore totally private as your message is conveyed across the Internet. The information is also encrypted between our server and the L-Mail partner who will print and post your correspondence.

L-Mail have also partnered with SquareTrade. The "Security Tested" Seal that appears on our home page confirms that SquareTrade scans and tests L-Mail.com daily for security issues. As part of this scan, SquareTrade simulates an unauthorized user. These attacks include over 200 of the most significant internet security vulnerabilities identified by the SANS Institute and the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) at the FBI.

Our letter dispatch process is automated and our staff carefully selected and references taken ensuring a high level of integrity in our organisation.

Once letters leave L-Mail they are as secure as any other letters trusted to local post office services. However, as we print at a location nearer to the recipient of the letter, likelihood of your correspondence being lost or delayed is minimised. There are no flights to miss and less chance of disruption through local outages in the postal system.

L-Mail is more secure than email. Email does not include any encryption and in theory every privileged person on the net (e.g. all hosts on your mail-path) could read or even modify your communication (http://www.messaging-software.net/how-secure-is-email.htm).

L-Mail site of the day at TopLinks

02nd March 2005

Romainian website, Toplinks has made L-Mail its site of the day:

A Postal Office is a very growded place and sometimes even very unfriendly. For most of us, a trip to the local Post Office is a living hell. Not to mention the sealing of the envelopes :) But we have a good news for you: somebody thought of taking all this hard work from you away and do it for you. So, you compose your letter on their website, in strictly confidentiality, you pay by credit card (generally, the prices are under 1 pound) and you stay relaxed at home. L-Mial handles everything.

Plus: For some destinations you pay less, than you would pay by normal postal services.

Minus: for other destinations you pay more...

Our thanks to Valentin Vesa, L-Mail Printing Partner in Romania for the translation.

For Romainian readers, the original article follows:

Posta este un loc prea aglomerat uneori si absolut neprietenos alteori. Pentru multi, un drum pana la posta e un chin. Ca sa nu mai vorbim de lipitul plicului:) Dar iata ca cineva s-a gandit sa faca pentru tine aceasta operatiune neplacuta. Din pacate, contra cost. Asadar, iti compui scrisoarea pe site, in conditii de confidentialitate, platesti prin card (in general preturile se situeaza sub 1 lira) si stai linistit acasa. L-mail se ocupa de tot.

Plus: Pentru unele destinatii platesti mai putin decat ai plati prin posta normala.

Minus: ...iar pentru altele mai mult.
