Premium Email Filter

Filter Splash Image Apollo Hosting has deployed the MailBoxCop premium email filter to its Total Solutions hosting plans. MailBoxCop is a comprehensive email filter, covering both viral threats and filtering unwanted spam email from a users inbox. The MailBoxCop filter is updated automatically to remain current with the latest threats, and the software’s spam filter is tuned not only by the individual user, but the aggregate preferences of all users.

The MailBoxCop product blocks harmful attachments from reaching a customer’s local machine, preventing a possible infection. Any suspicious email is held in quarantine, accessible via a browser-based interface. Advanced white and black list functionalities help users tag individual email addresses or entire domains they wish to either avoid or approve.

All existing users of our previous premium email filtering product have been automatically transitioned to this new solution and received emails with login information. Users who do not currently have premium email filtering service with Apollo may request the addition of the service via our Installation Request Form.
