A specialised spam filterMailbox or domain
Mail filtered
for you.
Readable only by you.
Real Mail is a specialised spam filter for a single mailbox, or for your whole domain. Keep your existing address, get one at realmail.com.au, or point your domain’s MX at Real Mail. Mail is encrypted at rest, and decrypted only in memory while it is being filtered. Even we cannot read it.
Built on two decades of running mail servers. Operated by Net2000 in Melbourne. Online only — no site visits.
Zero-access encryption
At rest
Encrypted
Per-user keys. Staff cannot decrypt.
How it works
From sender to your mailbox, with the filter in between.
Mail arrives through an address you choose, a forward, or your domain’s MX. It is filtered in memory, stored encrypted, and delivered the way you prefer.
Mail is sent to Real Mail at your own realmail.com.au address, by forwarding from your existing address, or by pointing your domain’s MX at Real Mail. Real Mail filters it — decrypting only in memory — then keeps it in an encrypted store. Filtered mail is delivered to your Microsoft 365 mailbox or picked up from Real Mail’s IMAP.
Sender
A message is sent to you as usual.
Inbound

Delivered to your Microsoft 365 mailbox
Picked up from Real Mail IMAP
-
Mail arrives
Use a hosted @realmail.com.au mailbox, forward your existing address, or point your domain’s MX at Real Mail so the whole domain is filtered.
-
Filtered in memory
The message is decrypted only while the filter is running, then encrypted again. It is not left readable at rest on our systems.
-
Delivered privately
Have filtered mail delivered straight into your Microsoft 365 mailbox, or pick it up from Real Mail’s IMAP whenever you are ready.
Privacy
Zero-access encryption, by design.
The point is simple: your mail should be yours. We designed the store so that even Real Mail staff cannot decrypt it.
Mail is encrypted at rest with per-user keys. It is decrypted only in memory during processing and filtering, then encrypted again. Real Mail staff and operators cannot decrypt mail at rest, and have no path to read it outside that in-memory processing step.
Encrypted at rest
Stored mail is encrypted with per-user keys. The readable message is not left sitting on disk.
Processed in memory
Decryption happens only while the filter is running in memory. When processing finishes, mail is encrypted again.
The operator cannot read it
Even Real Mail staff cannot decrypt mail at rest. There is no staff key to open a customer’s store.
Choose either
A single mailbox, or your whole domain.
Both use the same filter, the same encryption, and the same ways to receive mail. Pick the arrangement that fits how you already work.
Mailbox
A single mailbox
- Forward your existing address, or use @realmail.com.au
- Set up for that mailbox only
- The same encrypted store and the same delivery options
Domain
Your whole domain
- Point your domain’s MX records at Real Mail
- Mail for every mailbox on that domain is then filtered
- You keep your existing addresses
Features
The filter, and what sits around it.
Spam filtering is the core. Around it: checks on attachments and links, lists you control, an AI that retrains from how you mark mail, and encryption we cannot read at rest.
Your blocklist and allowlist
Set a custom blocklist and allowlist. Each is configured per user, so one mailbox’s lists need not be another’s.
AI that retrains with you
An AI model retrains per user from the mail you mark as junk, and from the mail you mark as not junk.
Zero-access encryption
Mail is encrypted at rest with per-user keys. Even we cannot decrypt it, except in memory while it is being filtered.
Options
How mail arrives, and how it is delivered.
Filter a single mailbox or a whole domain, then choose how filtered mail is delivered.
