Musings of a Marketing Maven

Blocking spam and keeping viruses out of our mailboxes are huge hassles for small businesses like mine. We don’t have in-house IT staff and the techs we rent by the hour don’t appear to know what the best spam-blocking options are for a business of our scale. Consumer-grade spam blockers just don’t make the grade.

I’ve been testing a service offered by a firm based in Montreal, called Perimetec, and am happy to report that I’m now getting enterprise-class spam blocking for an affordable price: $2.50 per mailbox. During my trial period with their service, statistics show that 85% of the mail sent to my email domain has been spam.

It’s been a huge relief to have that blocked from my computers — and my iPhone! Before Perimetec it simply wasn’t worth my time to use the iPhone for email checking, due to the huge volume of spam (1000′s of messages per week). Now it’s a blast.

I highly recommend this service (based on Barracuda technology) for other small business owners who operate without the benefit of full-time IT staff.
