Web hosting provider Doreo Hosting announced on Tuesday it has introduced MailFoundry, a hardware-based anti-spam and antivirus email filtering solution. The new solution will be offered as a free value-added feature on all Web hosting accounts.

The company had been looking to move its mail management software away from individual Web servers since early 2006. After deciding to go with MailFoundry in June, it took only a few weeks to deploy the new solution.

“Mail management has always been an important aspect of our Web hosting service,” says Frank Feingold, president of Doreo Hosting. “As such, we have been hunting for a solution that will not only reduce the load on our servers, but that will also allow for a higher level of spam and virus mitigation. MailFoundry is the prefect fit.”

MailFoundry runs off its own hardware appliance, and monitors all incoming emails automatically. Once MailFoundry detects potential spam, it quarantines the message, and notifies the recipient once a day with a list of withheld messages.
