E-mail Virus and Spam Filtering

Service Description

MOREnet's E-mail Virus and Spam Filtering service is a low-cost layer of protection for your e-mail system. E-mail viruses and spam are two of the biggest hassles system administrators have to deal with on today's Internet. The E-mail Virus and Spam Filtering service requires no end user participation; no server, equipment or software reconfiguration; no time to administer; and no hardware investment on your part. Everything happens on MOREnet's backbone. Best of all, the service removes all known e-mail-borne viruses and eliminates most spam.

What does this mean for you? Viruses and spam are less likely to get to your systems. Network traffic goes down, and bandwidth available to legitimate applications goes up. Other possible improvements include improved ability of legitimate e-mail to get to the proper recipient, fewer security incidents, reduced legal liability from inappropriate content and reduced staff time spent cleaning up after incidents.
