At the beginnig of February 2008, we adopted a new technology made available to us that would automatically block up to 95% of all incoming spam and viruses to our network and I’m very happy to say that it’s doing is job VERY well!
Here are some quick statistics:
February 2008
Total E-mails into our network: 9,685,998
Total Blocked: 9,345,664
Legitimate E-mails: 340,334
March 2008
Total E-mails into our network: 14,192,120
Total Blocked: 13,673,971
Legitimate E-mails: 518,149
April 2008 (to date: 4/24/2008 2:13PM EST)
Total E-mails into our network: 10,400,252
Total Blocked: 9,967,545
Legitimate E-mails: 432,707
Those are the final numbers from our e-mail filtering appliance. Keep in mind these are not numbers from Spam Assassin or BoxTrapper, these e-mails are being filtered even before they reach your inbox. Not many web hosting companies offer this value-added service free of charge, but Vistapages includes this free of charge to all of its shared hosting customers.
E-mail is one of the most used functions of our network, and allowing customers access to legitimate e-mails instead of sifting through spam and managing white lists, we’re increasing productivity and hopefully saving you money! After all, time is money!
