Spam & virus protection

Stay a step ahead of spammers! Our powerful spam & virus protection is more than just a filter - it's a sophisticated new technological solution. It protects your inbox - and preserves your valuable time - by detecting and eliminating spam before you have to deal with it. It's so easy to use; you just set, forget, and let our powerful technology do the rest.

How does it work?

Our solution works to minimise the damage spam does to your business. The spam filter system scans every email sent to your account verifying the legitimacy of the email and determining the likelihood of the email containing spam. The system is deployed and administered on the mail server and managed by us ensuring there is no administrative overhead for your organisation.

The anti spam application works to identify spam emails before they reach your email box. Emails are scanned using our internal spam detection and filtering network and SpamAssassin™ a server based mail filtering system. Furthermore, an additional layer of Spam protection can be utilized from enabling the custom spam filters available from your control panel.

This multi-pronged approach ensures maximum efficiency in reducing spam to your email box and can reduce spam levels by up-to 98%. Depending on your specific requirements the spam filter can manage email identified as spam in one of two ways:

Automatic Deletion

Once a particular email has been identified as spam it can automatically be deleted ensuring your staff are never inconvenienced by spam in the workplace. The emails are erased by the mail server and are never delivered to the end user dramatically reducing the presence of spam in your mail box.

Automatic Tagging and Filtering

The filtering application can be set to automatically tag suspected spam emails, once tagged the email will be delivered to the end user where the Email Programme (such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express) will identify the tag and move the email to your junk folder. In this way emails are never lost but are simply relocated to the users junk folder. The user is then able to browse through the folder on a daily or weekly basis retrieving any emails that maybe of interest or use.
