HOW IT WORKS

 


Technical details

LastSpam inbound filtering uses a combination of technologies to provide superior performance. Outbound filtering is optional. For customers concerned with email confidentiality, email encryption functionality is available, without the need to install any PKI or other complicated technology at your end.

Bandwidth protection is included in the service.

Antivirus protection is achieved using a combination of 3 virus scanning technologies, including the Norman Scanning Engine ( www.norman.com ), which is used by Microsoft. And our advanced extension and file type filtering further protects your network from dangerous attachments, even if the extension is renamed. This can be customized according to your organizational policies.

LastSpam protection defends against all types of spam, with a sustained 99% performance rate. Phishing attacks are blocked, in addition to dangerous email content, scripts or malicious URLs.

Reporting

LastSpam offers access to several report templates, and it is also easy for you to customize your own.  The management interface makes it quick and easy for administrators and management to see snapshot visuals of your email program. The web management interface allows you to make changes to the service with ease. Whitelist, blacklist and quarantine access is easily done.


How to try LastSpam (10 minutes to setup)

When we set you up as a new customer, here's what we will ask you to do.

  • Just tell us the names of the domains you want us to protect
  • Click on the links in the test email we send you
  • And your technical personnel or supplier will perform a one-time DNS modification (to your MX Record), so that your inbound email traffic will transit through LastSpam to be cleaned before reaching your mail server. If that is a problem, we will provide you with new nameservers that are configured for your hosting account and LastSpam. All you need is to change the nameservers of your domain.

It's as simple as that. And our 30-day trial is free if you don't find the service useful!

Please note that it is not necessary to disable your current antispam protection to do a test trial of the LastSpam service. And further, your email can be routed back to your email server(s) in just ten minutes, to discontinue your trial.
