spam filter - stops direct IP Sends

We have heaps of clients that have spam problems where the spammers bypass the mx records of the client and directly send to the clients IP address. Flooding their connection .

Using software or hardware based Spam Filter solutions make it hard to stop this .

When a Mailprotector client has this problem we simply get them to change their firewall rules so that they block out smtp traffic only expecting it from us.

We have had customers that have paid for the cost of the spam filter service we offer in the bandwith savings alone

So if you getting hit with direct IP spam trial our service www.mailprotector.com.au

IT Support Tips for Sydney Australia

IT Support Sydney Australia

3 Tips to reduce cost of your IT Support spend

1. Companies generally stretch their hardware life . Replacing a server when it is out of warranty is a good idea or buying extended warranty most vendors now have 5 year warranties .

2. Check your backups - Have more then 1 backup . Eg Shadow copy in Windows 2003 and tape or hard disk . Losing data can cost you your company

3. Try not to intoduce loads of different applications . KISS - keep it simple is the best way . Many application equals many vendors equal many headaches
