Mike Stapley IT Manager

Implementation of SpamTitan resulted in an immediate decrease in the volume of spam. It was especially efficient in the elimination of spam with offensive content

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.
