DigiServ™ Technologies cc is pleased to offer all Linux Web Hosting and Email Hosting customers state-of-the-art Spam removal software. Every web/email hosting account comes with complete SPAM protection using the Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP). As described on ASSP website and WIKI, ASSP could be considered the absolute best SPAM and VIRUS fighting weapon that the world has ever known. The use of this powerful system is designed to help us eliminate and remove up-to 90% of junk mail and viruses from your inbox.

Our Spam and Virus Filter solution works to minimise the damage spam does to your business. The spam filter system scans every email sent to your account verifying the legitimacy of the email and determining the likelihood of the email containing spam or a virus. The system is deployed and administered on the mail server and managed by us ensuring there is no administrative overhead for your organisation. The anti spam application works to identify spam emails before they reach your email box. Emails are scanned using an internal spam detection and filtering network and a server based mail filtering system. Furthermore, an additional layer of Spam protection can be utilized from enabling the custom spam filters available from your control panel. This multi-pronged approach ensures maximum efficiency in reducing spam to your email box and can reduce spam levels by up-to 90%.
