Spam filtering intercepts all incoming email before it reaches your inbox, scanning each message against millions of rules to identify spam, phishing attempts, malware, and malicious links. We redirect your MX records to route email through the filter first — clean emails pass straight through to your inbox, while harmful ones are held in quarantine. The whole setup takes less than 5 minutes.

Our spam filtering system uses a rule-based approach built by real humans — not algorithms — which gives it exceptional accuracy. Legitimate emails very rarely get caught. If they do, you can log in to the quarantine viewer, check what’s been held, and release or whitelist any emails incorrectly filtered.

Every account includes access to a quarantine viewer where you can see all filtered emails, review their content, and release any that were incorrectly caught. We’ll set this up for you and show you how to use it — it’s straightforward and takes seconds.

Yes. Our spam filtering is compatible with virtually all email services and hosting providers — including Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and standard hosted email. There’s nothing to install on your computers. We make a simple change to your MX records and the filter is live.

The technical setup usually takes less than 5 minutes once we make the MX record change. The filter then begins protecting your inbox immediately. We handle everything, and you’ll typically notice cleaner inboxes within hours of going live.
