What is SpamExperts?

This is licensed software offered and managed By SpamExperts BV (A division of SolarWinds)

Essentially the way we utilize this software is that it performs scans and checks on all mail leaving your server taking out anything it suspects as malicious and puts it aside before going through the outbound queue which stops potential phishing or malicious email messages from ever reaching the internet. This prevents potentially compromised accounts damaging your customers reputation or brand.

The main features of utilizing this outbound filter can be summed up as:

• Avoid IP blacklisting

The implementation of SpamExperts Outgoing Filter will help you get rid of network weaknesses and will cut the time spent with delisting to a minimum.

• Improve abuse manageability

With our Outgoing Filter service you can get clear and concise reports indicating which users/ accounts require your attention, automatically locking them.

• Protect your brand and infrastructure

SpamExperts makes sure you are part of the email security solution rather than part of the problem, ensuring integrity and positive client reputation.

• Avoid severe fines

Nation-wide legislative and control organizations are empowered to severely fine organizations for sending out unsolicited email. The SpamExperts Outgoing Filter is a robust solution which will prevent your organization from possible penalties for sending out spam.
