Why should you use MailGuard? Spam has become an overwhelming source of frustration and waste of time. MailGuard enables you to reduce the spam threats with two different methods:

1. You can elect to bounce any email you deem undesirable. This will then cause the sender to believe that your email address doesn't exist.
2. You can delete the email before downloading it from your mail server thereby saving you time and ensuring you only download the email you actually want.

MailGuard employs three Spam Blacklist sites in order to check the validity of your email:

1. SpamCop
2. SORBS (Spam and Open Relay Blocking System)
3. SPEWS (Spam Prevention Early Warning System)

All mail is checked against these sites to determine whether the source of the email is likely to be a spammer. Should this be true then MailGuard will mark the email as coming from a suspect source. You will then be able to take the appropriate action.

MailGuard also allows you to delete very large emails without having to download them. It does this by giving you a preview of the email on your mail server. You can then decide what you would like to keep and what you would like to discard.

You will also be less susceptible to emailed viruses as you will be able to delete any suspect emails without having to download them preventing them from ever reaching your computer.
