Case Study: Dunlop Industrial Products achieves 99.7% spam reduction in two weeks with Mimecast

Dunlop Industrial Products - Customer Case Study

Dunlop Industrial Products, a South African manufacturer of industrial rubber goods with about 150 email users, was struggling with overwhelming spam and false positives that cost IT up to 1.5 hours a day to manage. Their in-house anti-spam system blocked hundreds of legitimate messages (notably in Afrikaans), produced around 12,000 spam items daily, and made centralized management across multiple sites difficult during a major systems upgrade.

Dunlop deployed Mimecast UEM, which routes and scans mail through a secure cloud archive, eliminates bypassed mail via firewall lockdown, and requires no extra onsite hardware or quarantine management. The seven-day deployment produced immediate improvements and within two weeks spam dropped by 99.7% to a maximum of 40 messages per day, delivering near-zero false positives, centralized control across branches, seamless archiving and compliance, and an operationally affordable solution.
