Baithost configures our servers to scan all email for malicious
software using ClamAV. This software currently detects over
60.000 viruses, worms and trojans and is used by major
enterprises and Universities worldwide. We configure our servers
to perform anti-virus definition updates hourly to ensure our
servers are always protected.
Baithost also uses a couple of highly effective methods to
prevent spam on our servers. The first is the use of Realtime
Blackhole Lists (RBLs) for spam prevention. We configure our
servers to use a hand-picked selection of RBLs which block known
spam-hosts, open proxy servers, open mail relays,
hijacked/infected servers and the like from sending mail to our
server. The RBL selection was designed to eliminate spam without
blocking legitimate mail. We also harden the mail server
configuration as another layer in spam prevention
