Adds mailfoundry spam and virus filter solution to its shared and reseller hosting packages at no extra cost.

UnitedHosting, a web hosting services provider, today announced its recent introduction of Mailfoundry, an industry leading hardware-based spam and virus filtering solution.

Its spam filtering minimizes false positives ensuring that customers receive only genuine email with less than a 1 in 1 million chance of legitimate email being quarantined. Much like a PC virus scanner, MailFoundry uses definitions which are updated every 5 minutes by real human spam editors to ensure even the most recent spam outbreaks are filtered guaranteeing maximum effectiveness, they claimed in the release.

MailFoundry has been added to the shared and reseller hosting packages at no extra charge, adding yet more value to existing service and enforcing the company's commitment to providing value packed hosting solutions for all of its customers.

"99.99% uptime is all well and good, but when our own consumer research presented us with spam as the number one concern, we took this as an opportunity to respond to our customers needs. MailFoundry was the answer," said Matthew Wallis, Director of United Communications Ltd.
