Hosted Microsoft Exchange Mailboxes

Basic Spam Protection Included

The basic level of antispam protection for these mailboxes is to detect spam email and do one of the following:

• Delete Spam – Emails considered spam are deleted and not delivered to the email mailbox.
• Warn In Subject – Emails considered spam are delivered to the email mailbox but have the word **SPAM** added to the subject line. (This is the default and recommended setting)
• Ignore Spam – Emails considered spam are delivered to the email mailbox as normal and no action is taken.

This is not particularly sophisticated but it does show us that with the default setting emails will still be delivered. In this way you will not “lose” any genuine emails as a result of the filter but you can take extra care when opening them.

Additional Email Security & Archiving Option

Protect your users from unwanted spam and malicious messages with our cost-effective Email Security & Archiving Option. With no hardware costs and an easy setup method you’ll benefit from these more sophisticated features:

• 1 Year or 10 Year Email Archiving Service
• Spam Levels of Ultra Light, Light, Medium and Severe, which describes how strong the filtering is.
• Whitelisting – We can add a domain or email address so emails from that sender are never treated as spam.

This report will be emailed to your inbox at a time, period and frequency of your choice and contain all inbound and outbound email listing, including spam and viruses, allowing you to check the performance of Email Security on your account.
