MessageLabs AntiSpam Service

The second of the managed services goes like this: we (as per the MailGuard write up) complete the form, send it in, receive the welcome kit, follow the instructions regarding DNS and Mail-Server, see the filtered mail arrive.

All the customisation and administration is handled via a Web interface.

If you are comfortable with routing your MX records to a third party for filtering then I would say give it a trial and see how simple it is for yourself.

    We trialled both Mailguard & MessageLabs.

    MessageLabs is seemingly run out of the UK. To make a simple change required talking to someone in the UK, faxing a form to the UK, and waiting for them to be available.

    Not ideal.

    Geez, i wonder which of the two firms the anonymous poster is aligned to?? MessageLabs have a sydney office, have far a greater number of and far larger australian client base than MailGuard, and have never experienced the service outages that plague MailGuards poorly conceived and architected systems. Ever heard of availability & capacity management?? How bout mis-leading and deceptive conduct, alla "100% uptime" as is claimed in your marketing. Sub 25 seats, where you dont rely that heavily on your email, use MailGuard as they are cheap. > 50 seats, use MessageLabs, or Postini or Microsoft (whom acquired Frontbridge in 2006). You get what you pay for afterall.
