What is MailFoundry?

MailFoundry is an anti-spam system which our customers can choose to add to thier host account to help stop spam and viruses from reaching your mailbox. The host account comes standard with built in antispam and antivirus scanning from spamassassin and can be setup to catch about 50-70% of the spam emails. Mailfoundry removes 99% of spam email and 100% of known virus' from your email, with less than a 1 in 1 million chance of getting it wrong!

How does it work?

The MailFoundry server scans incoming e-mail messages looking for spam or viruses. This scanning is purely automatic, e-mail messages are not read or reviewed by any humans. Messages which are thought by the system to contain either spam or viruses are stored in a quarantine, a holding area on the server, instead of being delivered to your mailbox. A quarantine digest is generated by the system every day at 3:30 PM, to notify you of any e-mail messages which were recently placed into your quarantine. You may review what was held by the system, and release any messages which were incorrectly quarantined (these are usually referred to as "false positives") to your mailbox.

The MailFoundry system has the lowest measured occurrence of false positives of the systems we tested, and this was one of our main criteria for choosing this appliance.

What is a quarantine digest?

A quarantine digest is an email message which is sent to you automatically by the MailFoundry system. It contains a list of e-mail messages which have been caught and stored by the system, and provides links for you to interact with the system.
