October 24, 2006 – (HOSTSEACH.COM) – Web host Cord Hosting (http://www.cordhosting.com) has announced a strategic partnership with anti-spam and anti-virus solutions provider Katharion (http://www.katharion.com). Through the partnership Cord Hosting will be able to use Katharion’s ‘enterprise level’ email security products and resell the company’s mail filtering services at favorable rates.
“We are excited to be able to deliver enterprise level email security solutions to our small to medium sized business customers. Large corporations readily spend thousands each month on dedicated, hardware-based mail filters, but for many of our customers, that simply isn’t a possibility,” explained Cord Hostings’ Founder and President Mr. Errett Cord. “Our partnership with Katharion allows us to deliver these much needed email solutions at a fraction of the cost.”
Katharion’s technology offers a range of features, including Authenticity Checks, Message Fingerprinting, Whitelists, Domain History Real-Time Message Source Analysis and Dynamic Feedback-Based Optimization. Together the features enable Katharion to identify spammers and blacklist the messages they send.
To benefit from Katharion’s technology users must update their mail MX addresses to point to a Katharion mail filtering server. No special software or client-side configuration is required, and users do not need to be hosting customers of Cord Hosting. “There is a level of flexibility and ease-of-use with this new service that can’t be matched,” said Cord. “And it is apparent to me that this is the direction the hosting industry is moving; we are just happy to be at the leading edge of it.”
