MXSweep takes Spam Off the Menu at Schools and Universities

(PRWEB) June 15, 2007 -- MXSweep, the email filtering specialists, have introduced a new education pricing structure that finally makes it affordable for schools and universities to completely protect their students from Spam and the increasing danger of email-borne threats. The breakthrough is particularly welcome news for third level institutions within the education sector.

For schools and colleges, faced with tight budget constraints, equipping each student with advanced email spam-filtering protection has been a challenge. Entry level security solutions for email protection and filtering abound but, until now, enterprise-class performance has priced out of the reach of the education sector.

MXSweep's low-cost managed service brings best-of-breed performance to the education market. With the introduction of our new pricing structure, MXSweep is now being adopted by schools and colleges throughout the UK who find the pay-as-you-go model easy on their pocket.

Email is now an integral part of college life and students have become highly dependent on it to communicate with teachers, lecturers, and each other. The downside is that email also exposes vulnerable students to offensive material and financial scams. With a wide range of filters for inappropriate language content, the MXSweep service protects students against such abuse. Unsolicited spam wastes time because students have to trawl through scores of irrelevant material to access their bone fide communications. From the college's viewpoint, the extra network traffic also creates headaches for their IT administration staff, and if left unchecked, this unwanted email traffic can leave college authorities wide open to legal claims for breaching duty-of-care responsibilities.

Dave Lovatt, MXSweep's Channel Sales Manager, says "When we sat down to talk with the third level education sector they told us how their existing filtering systems have failed to keep up with the rapid pace of Spam evolution. We discovered they were still using hardware and software solutions. The on-site software or hardware-appliance approach to email anti-spam and anti-virus filtering is well past its sell-by date. Managed services are the future where email filtering is concerned, but email as a communications resource remains mission critical so buyers must be selective and only deal with providers who can demonstrate depth of expertise."
