Default Mail Foundry please

Despite reading all the good advice found on these forums, I have found it difficult to get the SPAM filters working accurately. They need constant training, and they still pick up a number of false positives. From the forums, it seems that I am not the only one ; a significant amount of effort/resources of EUKHOST support and clients seems to be spent on sorting out SPAM issues.

This could be avoided by using a more rugged spam filter system. Mail Foundry works superbly well, and many hosting sites seem to be switching to it. With our previous hosts ( good for email but unfortunately poor for the web web site hosting performance) we were quite happy to pay a few GPBs per month extra to add Mail Foundry for our 10+15 mail addresses.

So far with EUKHOST I can report excellent performance and support for the web applications, but I feel a little more attention and investment on the email side is needed.

Currently I am contemplating retaining our previous hosting account, just to process the emails, but as this would require messing around with the DNS servers , this is really a last resort, not to mention the additional cost of maintaining 2 hosting packages.

Kind regards
