MailFoundry Spam Filtering Overview

Included with all hosting packages is a powerful, industry-leading, anti-spam and anti-virus system called MailFoundry. We run dedicated filtering servers (MailFoundry) to ensure your inbox remains clean of all spam and harmful emails.

Overview of MailFoundry

Much like a PC virus scanner uses virus definitions, MailFoundry uses spam definitions to identify and remove spam emails before they reach your inbox. The spam definitions are updated every 5 minutes by real human spam editors to ensure even the most recent spam outbreaks are filtered guaranteeing maximum effectiveness.

Traditional spam filtering used by other hosts, such as SpamAssassin use keywords to guess which emails might be spam - this leads to high false-positive rates (genuine emails being lost). Because MailFoundry does not use traditional scoring, and does not guess which emails may be spam, it leads the industry with a false positive rate of less than 1 in 1 million.

MailFoundry is a dedicated appliance server, which sits between our mailservers and the internet stopping spam and virus emails before they even reach our core mailservers:
