How does Mailguard Work?

In order for a domain to receive email, it must have an MX (Mail eXchanger) record.  To use MailGuard we redirect the MX record to our servers.  From there we scan ALL email for phising/spam/viruses, take the appropriate action before sending down the santised mail to your local mail server.  If we are 100% satisfied your mail is a virus or spam then we completely disgard without further user interaction.  If we can't be sure either way, the spam is tagged or left alone based on user thresholds or whitelists and blackilists with the final decision being left with the user.

Because we have mulitple servers in multiple locations, should your broadband go down, we will always be able to ensure you don't miss an important email that could mean the difference between winning business and loosing it.

Can I trial MailGuard?

Yes - absolutely.

Do I have to install any specialised software?

NO - all spam and virus detection is done before it reaches your onsite mailserver saving you precious bandwidth and keeps your server load to a minimum.
