With antispam vendors offering low-cost licenses, companies can now afford advanced e-mail and virus protection with an easy-to-use interface at a much lower cost. The best thing about technology is that, as it evolves, it gets faster, with additional and economical features.
In recent years, the same evolution has taken place with anti-spam technology and services. In large part, this can be attributed to the open source software community more to enterprising companies that improve the capabilities of this software and package it into easy-to-use antispam devices.
It is not practical to have anti-spam software running on desktops in a networked business environment. Managing all of the Employees junk Mail software on the desktop is unrealistic. It can be a nightmare and costly in terms of time and licenses.
Spam devices are located in front of your email server, so when you get the email you will first go to the spam device and the email is scanned for spam and viruses. The filter will block the message if it is identified as known spam. If the filter is not sure if the email is genuine, it will quarantine and keep the e-mail in the filter and will be stored until the recipient deletes it, publishes it in its e-mail box, or may include in the whitelist a C Orresponsal of confidence so that the future emails will not be retained.
This will greatly reduce the load on your email server and reduce your bandwidth needs. We have seen that antispam systems block up to 83% of incoming messages. This could help extend the life of your email server and roll back the need for enhanced capacity.
Most virus outbreaks occur through e-mail, and for a low cost, a device can block viruses before they reach your network and the user's Inbox. This provides an additional layer of defense in addition to its current anti-virus solution.
Companies have two options if they use a device-based solution for their control of spam and viruses. You can buy and manage your own filter. This is a good option if you have a lot of employee mailboxes to protect and the technical staff to manage the spam device. Companies also have the option to outsource their spam control as a hosted service. This is a good option for smaller companies and if information technology is not your specialty.
If you purchase your own spam filter, you may also need a subscription to the updates.
Make sure you get prices in advance for the add-ons you will need. If you have more than 100 email users and technical staff to maintain the spam device, your best option can be to buy your own filter. In general, the basic model will work for most organizations. Large organizations with thousands of users will require a spam filter device with enhanced capabilities and features. Spam devices are designed to work with all mail systems, but some have specific improvements to the popular Microsoft collaboration software and Microsoft Mail servers that support LDAP (Access Protocol Lightweight directories). Spam devices use the LDAP protocol to verify recipients before sending messages to their e-mail server, which prevents server resource consumption.
If your company has five to one hundred employees, a spam filter service and subcontracted virus will be a good economic option for your organization.
The rates are based on the number of users and you only pay for what you use. You will not have hardware to buy, maintain and update. The initial cost is minimal and most email filtering vendors will allow you to test the free service at the beginning. Another additional benefit to outsourcing your spam control is redundancy. It is important that you choose a provider that has its spam filters and viruses located on the Secure Internet data center installations.
Data centers provide redundant network and power connections, so if your email server or your Internet connection falls unexpectedly, the spam device will keep your email until your email server be available, except spam and viruses.
