Huron Valley Steel easily eliminates spam with SpamTitan

The Challenge

The I.T. team were spending several hours per week filtering through a massive amount of spam daily.
Prior to SpamTitan the daily spam attack was overloading the company email server
"After a long period of attempting to manage spam at the desktop and via basic MS Exchange filters, the volume increased to the point where we (IT) were constantly fielding complaints about both quantity and content" said Mr Stapley.
Dealing with the high spam load was proving not only a nuisance but also a productivity drain and serious network security issue.
HR issues were also becoming apparent as employees began receiving large amounts of pornographic and inappropriate material in their inboxes.
We were previously using Exchange Intelligent Message Filter, which provided a much more basic and less granular filtering capability’ said Mike Stapley, I.T. Manager.
A reliable and robust email security solution to replace MS Exchange filters had to be found.

The Solution

Huron Valley discovered SpamTitan after comprehensively researching several competitors on the Internet, as well as through trade publication reviews and at IT security tradeshows.
SpamTitan was everything Huron Valley needed, it was both scalable and had extensive features including clustering, all at a fraction of competitor’s prices.
In the first week, SpamTitan, with its double anti virus protection of Clam AV and Kaspersky, blocked several viruses from entering the network.
As well as powerful spam and virus blocking Mr Stapley also appreciated the comprehensive and customizable reports. Huron Valley get an ongoing view of email usage on its network as well as a view of all spam and email virus hitting its mail servers. Some of the reports that Huron Valley use most frequently include overall system summary report, top spam recipients, and top viruses.
According to Mr Stapley SpamTitan’s best feature is simply that it performs as promised with an immediate reduction in spam and time spent managing spam. SpamTitan has killed the spam and therefore the frequency of user complaints and spam-related queries to the IT department is practically non-existent, this now allows the department to focus on other areas.
