How iHouse Web Eradicated Spam with SpamTitan

The Solution

• “When we first started using SpamTitan there was a lot of spam messages coming through our servers and ultimately reaching our customers inboxes but within a few days of deploying SpamTitan these had dropped significantly and our false positive rate which had been a big problem also dropped significantly ,” said Mr Aldrich.
• After a few days of Bayesian training, the evaluation devices had already learned sufficiently to start rejecting and accepting with exceptional accuracy.
• This coupled with the very flexible configuration of RBLS, RFC and sender compliance settings, in addition to some clever add-ons such as client OS identification made the decision easy - SpamTitan was the solution IHOUSEWEB had been looking for all along.
• A big benefit of SpamTitan to this ISP was the ease of setting up SpamTitan. SpamTitan has a very intuitive user interface and incorporated end user quarantines and automatic updating, making it a virtually administration-free solution.
• In addition to its ease of use and deployment, SpamTitan offered IHOUSEWEB a full set of features specifically designed for ISPs, these features allow the IT administrator to determine how stringently email will be blocked.
• The SpamTitan Engineering team worked closely with IHOUSEWEB’s in enabling them to make a seamless migration from Mail Foundry. 
• According to Aldrich ‘It was easy for us to implement several API calls from external scripts to upload all of our domains and standard policies to the appliance and the clustering worked perfectly to roll out the uploaded information from the cluster master to the slaves. On the day that we went live, we just had to change the MX records to point to the SpamTitans and off we went.’
• No hardware costs with the virtual appliance - Great value for the price compared to other alternatives
