To provide spam firewall from Barracuda Networks to protect subscribers from spam.

Canadianwebhosting.com, a web hosting company, today announced that they have started implementing Barracuda Network's Spam Firewall to scan all inbound and outbound emails.

According to the company, installation started in late September and has taken over one month to complete. All customers on the shared hosting plans will be automatically added to the email spam firewall free of charge. Canadian web hosting is now processing more than 1,00,000 emails each day, blocking up to 95% of the messages as spam per day. The Barracuda Spam Firewall provides protection against the email-borne threats, including, Anti-spam, Anti-virus, Anti-spoofing, Anti-phishing, Anti-spyware for attachments and Denial of Service.

"Our customers are very happy with this service, they don't need to worry about getting spam in their inbox anymore. This saves time and money for our customers as well as our company. We reduce the number of support calls regarding spam problems. Spam Firewall also provides us with a way to find email issues. Its extensive log allows us to follow routing paths and find out the cause of email problems on the network," said Alex Zarud, Senior Systems Administrator for Canadianwebhosting.com.
