Receiving spam
The email hosting provider you choose has a significant bearing on the amount of annoying spam you receive in your inbox.
A recent survey by web a hosting company found a rise of 88% in complaints in the last year in the number of spam reports it had received.*
A recent survey in the U.S. by the Ponemon Institute looked at online security in 50 international companies. The survey found that on average there were 72 successful attacks or security breaches per week and 100% of companies reported incursion by viruses, worms and Trojans, 96% reported malware; and 30% reported phishing and social engineering attacks. **
Many of these threats such as viruses, worms and malware would have arrived via email and then been spread around the companies computer networks by unwitting employees.

Sending spam
If you’re a larger organisation with lots of internal marketing or sales staff, the sending of spam emails can be an issue too.
Your company should have a strong policy on what is and isn’t permitted to be sent. If an employee bombards potential or existing clients regularly with sales focused emails, the recipients may end up making a complaint against your business.
The Microsoft Forefront technology we use in our email hosting services can help your business address this issue. It has the ability to monitor outgoing emails for specific words and phrases that could indicate an email communication is potential outgoing spam.
If your business has a problem with incoming or outgoing spam, or maybe even both, call us now for a no obligation chat about how we can help.
