Unlimited Mailboxes - Forget Per User Licensing!

Our spam filtering is installed on a per hosting account basis. You can map multiple domain names to one hosting account which will display the same website and share the same email facilities. This also applies to spam filtering, thus all you pay is £30+VAT per annum to have all your email scanned for spam and viruses.

Filtering Options

Based on the world renowned SPAM Assassin software, the service provides four main choices in dealing with Spam suspected messages:

Move SPAM

Spam suspected messages can be moved to a mailbox within your account that can then be viewed or verified using webmail or any standard POP3 mail client.

Quarantine SPAM

The quarantine feature stores messages considered junk in a folder labelled as 'Spam' that can be viewed through our powerful web based webmail application. This allows you to check through the messages before deletion, but without having to download them to your local computer. Ideal for multi recipient based domains allowing each user to check their own Spam.

Mark as SPAM

Each suspected spam message can have its subject prefixed with a given word; the default being SPAM:. Thus, allowing you to download the messages locally and filter in your own mail client.

Delete SPAM

Use our systems to ensure no spam is ever sent to you. Our systems are upwards of 98% accurate in terms of identifying spam and as such you can have the confidence that only legitimate email will be routed to your mailbox. This is the default action for all virus bourne emails.

Advanced Settings

As well as the above listed features, the filter will add headers and attach a full and detailed report to your message detailing the reasons why spam messages have been considered as such with the points awarded based on the checks performed. Further to this, you have the ability to tailor the package to suit your requirements further, creating the perfect filtering solution.

Tolerance Levels

Focusing on a self evolving point scoring system, all email is scanned and checked by thousands of different rules to check its validity. The higher the score, the more likely it is spam. The tolerance scale allows you to either increase or decrease the points required by our filter for a message to be considered as Spam.

Black Lists

Email addresses and domains in your black list will always be considered as SPAM regardless of their content.

White Lists

Email addresses and domains in your white list will always be passed through the SPAM filtering checks regardless of their content.

SPAM Reports

When the filter identifies a message as junk, it makes a report indicating why the message was targeted as such. This can prove interesting as to why some emails mail have been deemed to be spam in the first place.

SPAM Statistics

To show you how our spam filter has benefited you we provide you with graphical statistics. These are detailed statistics which are provided on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. They include not just a graph shown details of the filtering, but which checks caught the highest amount of spam bourne email.
