The greater the number of email addresses in use within a business
, then the greater is the likelihood of the system being hit by spam, or unsolicited emails. Generally the contents are advertising of one kind or another and they are sent out indiscriminately to any live email account that can be found. Often they are simply an annoying nuisance but they can harbour worms or viruses that can completely destroy systems and cause an untold loss of man hours and business. Of course anti-spam software is available to reduce vulnerability to spam but although this may be sufficient for a personal computer it is rarely robust enough for a business network and the larger the network the less effective software will be in ensuring protection.
It is far more effective to buy in the services of a company like ourselves at Message Stream where we offer a spam filter service that processes each and every incoming email before it enters the client's computer system. No less than 90 separate tests are performed on each message by a system that is so rapid you can be having an email conversation and not even notice a time lapse. Naturally we are constantly up dating to make sure that our spam filter keeps everything out because it is our job to vigilantly neutralise every new way that spammers can find to get their messages through.
Using a hosted spam blocker is the most effective way to protect your computers and also a highly cost efficient way of doing things. Upgrades are applied every time they are developed without you ever having to thing about them. Your IT department does not need to update anything, run checks, provide any maintenance or even think about spam as everything is taken care of before it gets to your network.
