Adds the email filtering product in its Total Solutions hosting tools; features spam and virus filtering along with a quarantine feature.

Apollo Hosting, a web hosting provider, today announced that it has deployed the MailBoxCop premium email filter to its Total Solutions hosting plans.

MailBoxCop is available on all Apollo Hosting platforms. It is a comprehensive email filter, covering viral threats and filtering unwanted spam email from a user's inbox. The company claims that it is updated automatically, and the software's spam filter is tuned not only by the individual user, but the aggregate preferences of all users.

The product blocks harmful attachments by reaching a customer's local machine, preventing a possible infection. Any suspicious email is held in quarantine, accessible via a browser-based interface. Advanced white and black list functionalities help users tag individual email addresses or entire domains they wish to either avoid or approve.

Apollo Hosting CEO, Martin Field, explains, "This cumulative analysis of spam email creates a far more effective filter than one which relies solely on the selections of a single user. The filter's quality benefits from the experience of all users, and all users in turn benefit from a more effective filter."
