Unfortunately for those of us who live their lives on the net, Spam is a fact of life. Most users have two choices - spend lots of time dealing with it, or ignore it and hope it goes away.

KPDirection clients have another choice; let us handle it using our MailFoundry system.

Traditional spam filtering provided by other hosts (such as Spamassassin) uses keyword scoring to 'guess' which emails look like spam, this results in poor performance and often genuine email being trashed as spam - which none of us wants. MailFoundry uses human created definitions, rather than guess work, to identify known spam email messages and remove them fast and accurately.

Here are some numbers;

Every five minutes the anti-spam defintions are updated by a real live human being. That's 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (we're sure it's not just ONE human being doing this...!)

Less than one in every million emails will be a false-positive (i.e, a valid email for you that is marked and deleted as spam). 100% of all known viruses and 99% of all known spam is deleted at the server without you having to do anything at all.

And what do you have to do? Nothing. Just host your website with KPDirection, and it will all happen automatically. MailFoundry is a free addition to our hosting services, and it saves our time (and your money) by completely off-loading the spam issue to someone else. So we're happy to pass that benefit and saving on to you.

But I don't host with KPDirection!

Not a problem. We seriously recommend the Cloudmark Desktop Antispam solution; again, users don't need to do anything, just watch all that spam simply disappear, never to be seen again.

If you'd like to talk more to us about hosting at KP Direction, Web Site Design, or IT Management solutions in the Syracuse and Salt Lake / Wasatch Front areas, just drop us a line. Our policy is Best Advice - if we can't help you, we'll help you find someone who can.
