Review: intY MailDefender

Review: intY MailDefender

IntY's MailDefender manages to squeeze quite a lot of mail filters and controls into an attractive and uncomplicated interface. We might have preferred the default first screen to be the useful quarantine summary (giving customer-wide mail totals), rather than the actual quarantining itself, but this was just a minor quibble.

Review: Frontbridge

Review: Frontbridge

This service has been clearly aimed at large (or complicated) organizations that might be managing multiple domains. It can do clever tricks such as rewriting email addresses and handling subdomains that may not have been specifically configured. Administrators can be created with limited sets of responsibilities.

Review: Corpex Armourplate

Review: Corpex Armourplate

Armourplate is a managed service with offices in the U.K. and Germany. Although the website claims to be "for U.K. business", the company says it is open to customers anywhere in the world. With the contact details and office hours limited to U.K. specifics, we feel the company (or its parent, Corpex) could be doing a lot more to draw attention to this.

Review: Blackspider MailControl

Blackspider's MailControl service won a Best Buy in SC Magazine last year for its strong service offering, and although FrontBridge beat it to the line this time around, MailControl is still a very good service indeed.
