Case Study: Carpet Court achieves significant spam and malware reduction and frees IT resources with MailGuard

Carpet Court lay down the law on spam and malware

Carpet Court, Australia’s largest retail floor covering specialist with over 180 stores, was struggling with a growing volume of spam and virus-infected emails that overwhelmed its on‑premise mail server, increased internet bandwidth usage, and consumed an estimated 4–5 hours per week of IT time. To address this, Carpet Court engaged MailGuard and trialed MailGuard’s cloud‑based triple email filtering service.

MailGuard deployed its cloud email filtering quickly with no hardware or software to buy, plus 24/7 support and a one‑click “report as spam” feature. MailGuard significantly reduced spam and mail‑server load, lowered internet traffic, and freed the IT team (recovering the ~4–5 hours/week previously spent on spam management), resulting in quieter inboxes across stores and better use of internet quota.
