History and System Design
VFEmail ONLY does email, so our job is to ensure the system is always available and try and do so solely with user funding. We do not scan your email for ad delivery, or sell your personal information. See our TOS/Privacy Policy.
VFEmail started in 2001 by Rick Romero in direct response to the 'ILOVEYOU' virus. At the time, anti-virus was not integrated into email systems. After writing a set of batch files to integrate Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition A/V scanning into Mercury/32 on Windows, Rick turned his attention to helping regular users and local small businesses avoid email-based viruses. VFEmail started with a single FreeBSD server, and thanks to Rick's broad and extensive IT experience, frugal purchasing, and long-term planning, VFEmail has grown into the site you see today. While other services have shut down, or been exposed as not delivering on their promises, VFEmail keeps chugging along.
