Barracuda Spam Filtering

While Aushosts provides basic spam filtering using the Spam Assassin software suite; we also offer a premium email filtering service via the Barracuda Spam Firewall. This service is an extra $8 a month per a domain and you can order this as an addon if you wish when your ordering your hosting account.

You can also add this to your existing account at anytime by ordering it in your Customer Portal.

We can also filter external mail servers such as your locally hosted exchange server. Just ask our sales area on 1300 287 467 if your looking for externally filtering and we can let you know whats involved. External filtering is only $25/mo per a domain name or $8 a month per a domain if you also host your website with us (and email externally).

The Barracuda Spam Firewall protects your email server with twelve defense layers:

• Network Denial of Service Protection
• Rate Control
• IP Reputation Analysis
• Sender Authentication
• Recipient Verification
• Virus Scanning
• Policy (User-specified rules)
• Spam Fingerprint Check
• Intent Analysis
• Image Analysis
• Bayesian Analysis
• Rule-based Scoring
