Case Study: Dartford Borough Council achieves near-total spam elimination and reliable email security with Axway MailGate

Axway MailGate Proves a Stable, Reliable Email Security Solution

Dartford Borough Council, the local government for Dartford in Kent, England, faced a growing spam and virus problem that wasted employee time, diverted IT resources, and bogged down servers. The council needed an email filtering solution that would stop unsolicited mail and quarantine threats at the gateway before they entered the network.

They deployed Axway MailGate (VMware), a virtualized email filter that blocks spam and detects viruses before delivery. MailGate was quick to install, delivered a 98–99% spam detection/blocking rate, freed employees and IT from inbox cleanup, enabled retirement of servers and an older appliance, and was replicated for disaster recovery.
