Blacksburg and New River Valley based Mailtrust™, a leading business-email specialist and a division of Rackspace® Hosting, announced news that it has selected Cloudmark, the global leader in carrier-grade messaging security, to provide complete spam and phishing protection to Mailtrust's more than 100,000 business hosting customers. Mailtrust has deployed the Cloudmark Authority plug-in for Apache SpamAssassin™ to improve message filtering accuracy and boost system performance. Cloudmark's comprehensive message filtering solution, combined with Mailtrust's proven hosted business-class e-mail services, gives demanding business customers unmatched messaging capabilities, higher e-mail service quality and a markedly improved user experience.
"Mailtrust's mission is to be the best hosted business-class e-mail provider and partnering with Cloudmark furthers this goal," said Pat Matthews, president of Mailtrust. "With spam making up more than 95 percent of all e-mail traffic, it is important for us to provide our customers with a reliable solution that stops unwanted e-mail traffic before it impacts internal messaging infrastructure and storage. Also, Cloudmark's automatic threat protection has enabled us to refocus engineering and administrative resources away from maintenance issues in order to be able to focus more on our customers' needs." After evaluating several solutions, Mailtrust selected the Cloudmark Authority plug-in for Apache SpamAssassin because of the following: Improved Filtering Accuracy—Cloudmark rapidly detects all categories of spam and phishing with more than 98 percent accuracy and near zero false positives. High accuracy is maintained by an in-memory cache of the latest threat fingerprints, which is updated by Cloudmark every 30-60 seconds. Fingerprinting Technology and Real-time Feedback—Cloudmark combines Advanced Message Fingerprinting™ with real-time reporting from a network of more than 600 million trusted reporters around the world. Mailtrust's customers join Cloudmark's Global Threat Network and are empowered to report any unwanted message reaching their inbox. This unique combination of technology and user reporting enables Cloudmark to detect new threat outbreaks hours or days ahead of competitive solutions. Reduced Server Load, CPU Usage and Power Consumption—Cloudmark's fingerprinting technology requires significantly less computing resources than alternative filtering solutions. With Cloudmark, Mailtrust was able to cut the number of filtering servers it used by 50 percent. Savings on spam filtering infrastructure, power consumption and administration are passed on to customers in the form of improved service and lower service charges. Cloudmark also integrates seamlessly with Mailtrust's new integrated control panel, which allows customers to control both Exchange and Noteworthy e-mail services from one central location. Users can now also manage their Cloudmark spam settings through Mailtrust's new control panel, thereby enabling a single domain with both types of mailboxes and one shared set of spam controls. "The Cloudmark Authority plug-in for SpamAssassin offers a seamless way for e-mail hosting companies like Mailtrust to benefit from greatly improved filtering accuracy and performance without having to change their system architecture," said Jamie de Guerre, chief technology officer of Cloudmark. "Mailtrust is known in the hosting industry as an innovator and a leader in customer satisfaction. We look forward to working with Mailtrust to help deliver on its promise of providing the most secure, reliable and cost-effective business e-mail service in the market today."
