SpamAnswer eMail Spam & Virus Scrubbing

SpamAnswer provides your small business with Spam &  Virus Filtering **BEFORE** it ever gets to any of your computers.   Unlike solutions such as individual  antispam software that sits on your PC, there is no need to change anything on your individual PCs.  And unlike solutions that sit on your mail server,  there's nothing your IT staff needs to do - we maintain the software, the rules, virus pattern files, etc., so you can stop worrying about it.

Features

• Filters using a set of predefined rules.
• Blocks entire countries notorious for sending spam, e.g. China and Brazil.
• Filters using up to six real-time blacklists (RBL), e.g. ORDB, Razor, Pyzor, etc.
• Optionally, specify mailboxes that bypass the spam filtering.
• Optionally, create a personal white-list by IP address, e-mail address, domain or content.
• Blocked e-mail can be rejected or sent to a special mailbox for your review, e.g. spam@yourdomain.com.

• Stops over 95% of all spam. (ISP anti-spam services typically only block 50-75%.)
• Improves efficiency and morale. Keeps offensive material out of the office. Prevents losing e-mails in "all the spam".
• Unlikely to block legitimate e-mail. Automatic notification to sender if a message is blocked with the reason why.  The originator is asked to contact the recipient by telephone to report the mail blocking.
• White-list (by e-mail address or domain) ensures that important clients don't get blocked. Adding your product names to a content white-list ensures that sales prospects don't get blocked.
• Virus filtering greatly reduces the chance of a virus infection.
• Bonus - Increased e-mail reliability - our relays "spool" (Store and Forward) your e-mail in case your primary mail server is down. (A typical ISP's mail server is down several hours/month for maintenance).
• Bonus – DNS Zone services including maintenance.
