Last Saturday I opened my email and had 98 spam messages. Throughout the day I'd probably get a couple dozen more. That was the last straw and I had to do something to stop the tide.

I didn't want to abandon my email address -- too many friends, colleagues and accounts use it. I remembered the message Cartika sent about Mail Foundry and thought I'd give it a try.

Holy Cow! The next day there were only 9 spam messages. I've used it a week now and every day there are only 5 or 10 spam messages, instead of the usual 50 or 60.

With such a dramatic change, I was concerned good messages were being blocked too. But only one person said their message was returned and I added them to the white list. I also scanned the quarantined list but didn't find any good email addresses.

It's almost too good to be true. I should have done this earlier.

Hello Web Studio West and thank you for your comments.

Mailfoundry has the capability to learn as you go, so, since you are a target for spammers, may I recommend you forward any spam message you do receive to spam@mailfoundry.com. this will teach the filter at a quicker pace and ultimately eliminate more spam for everyone else as well.

thanks again !!!

An email address I've used for years must have been picked up by spammers. It went from a few messages per week from real people to dozens of spam messages every day. So I activated Mail Foundry and practically all spam was gone immediately. It's been about a week and no problems.

Hi

Is there an option to see the messages BLOCKED by MAILFOUNDRY ?
does the stats get updated frequently or every 24 hours ?

Hello,

Yes you can either read the digest that is sent daily or use the "view" link on the report page for queue status in the mailfoundry control panel.

[Web Studio West]

MailFoundry sends a "Quarantine Digest" every couple days for each email address showing blocked messages. It must be a default setting.

BTW, can the mailfoundry server by private labeled to match our reseller aliases?

Hello,

Well, yes and no - you can certainly add the MF server IP to a custom A record under your end-user account. However, at this time, it's not going to be part of the standard server aliases.
