Spam Filtering

The Spam Problem
We estimate that 95% of all email traffic on the Internet is spam. Spam is the most complex problem facing the Internet today. The problem has already led to millions of dollars in lost productivity and additional infrastructure costs for businesses and service providers.

Businesses who maintain in-house email servers are fighting a losing battle to protect their systems from spam because the complexity of the problem is constantly evolving. Spammers are growing wiser on a daily basis, learning new methods to manipulate common spam defenses and obtaining more sophisticated software to trick spam filters and penetrate email inboxes.

Virus Scanning

Zero Added Points of Failure
Redundancy and failover support are built into every aspect of the email hosting system. Should any portion of the virus scanning process fail, safeguards are in place to ensure that the remaining stages execute and email traffic continues without interruption. Additionally, if either of the two virus scanners encounters an error, there are additional scanners that automatically step in to rescan the email.

Effectiveness
As of March November 2007, over 78,000,000 virus related emails have been blocked by our email filtering system.
