Spam: Finally Solved

July 3, 2009

Block­ing spam and keep­ing viruses out of our mail­boxes are huge has­sles for small busi­nesses like mine. We don’t have in-house IT staff and the techs we rent by the hour don’t appear to know what the best spam-blocking options are for a busi­ness of our scale. Consumer-grade spam block­ers just don’t make the grade.

I’ve been test­ing a ser­vice offered by a firm based in Mon­tréal, called Perime­tec, and am happy to report that I’m now get­ting enterprise-class spam block­ing for an afford­able price: $2.50 per mail­box. Dur­ing my trial period with their ser­vice, sta­tis­tics show that 85% of the mail sent to my email domain has been spam.

It’s been a huge relief to have that blocked from my com­put­ers — and my iPhone! Before Perime­tec it sim­ply wasn’t worth my time to use the iPhone for email check­ing, due to the huge vol­ume of spam (1000’s of mes­sages per week). Now it’s a blast.

I highly rec­om­mend this ser­vice (based on Bar­racuda tech­nol­ogy) for other small busi­ness own­ers who oper­ate with­out the ben­e­fit of full-time IT staff.
