Innes England Terminates Lease on Spam
Among the clients benefiting from Mailminder is Innes England, the largest independent Commercial Property Consultants in the East Midlands, who were an easy target for junk email and virus spammers, due to their policy of using actual names in their marketing material.
Innes England Director Tim Garratt explained:"We really wanted to use people's actual names to emphasise the personal approach we use with customers and prospects alike but this did mean we were getting around 200,000 emails a month, >90% of which were spam.
This spam issue was doubly frustrating due to the fact that we make great use of BlackBerryTM handhelds and Smartphone devices, hence needing a flexible but effective solution that would not only stop the spam emails, but give us the facility to double check that we weren't missing important emails.
Once Syntax IT Services had implemented Mailminder and worked with our technical team in locking our servers and network down, we had a system that was 99.99% effective at stopping junk email, spam and viruses."
Syntax IT Services developed their managed, hosted anti-spam solution Mailminder in response to their customers' need for a flexible corporate strength solution with small business price tag.
Syntax IT Services Technical Director David White continued: "Customers wanted a simple but effective system that prevented junk email, spam and viruses even reaching their network.
"The challenge was developing a sophisticated system that was effective in identifying spam, easy to manage and competitively priced. The satisfaction level from our current users such as Innes England seems to indicate we've got this right."
