Below is an advanced description of spam filters and how spam emails and legitimate mail filter down into the email delivery system:
At this level, we work with the ISP and MX records. This is a technical area of email filtering that ensures messages come from only allowed/approved mail systems. DMARC builds upon SPF and DKIM protection by performing lookups on incoming messages, verifying existing DKIM and SPF records in DNS. Anti-spoofing and anti-phishing are the primary benefits of using DMARC, which helps verify the authenticity of messages and protect against malicious attacks.
This is where the first level of centralized filtering happens. The companies stated above are constantly trying to play catch-up against the spammer’s latest attempts and tactics. Some companies start losing traction, and we will advise that clients go to another spam filter service. This only happens every few years or even a decade, but we cannot, however, afford to get behind the ball and be complacent because it comes down to giving all employees their time and also creating more security for our business customers.
With Outlook, you have junk mail settings and white list settings. These spam settings are outside of a centralized solution. Outlook, for example, also includes a junk folder. This can get a little tricky because now the end-user has 2 spam folders to beware of. One in the cloud and one locally. This can be looked at as double protection or too much protection. This is a personal decision, perhaps, and can be customized to fit each use case.
Providers like Office 365 add an additional layer of protection with Exchange Online Protection (EOP). This service uses advanced algorithms to block spam, phishing attacks, and virus-laden emails. Office 365 can automatically forward suspicious emails to quarantine or delete them, further safeguarding your communications. It’s crucial to encrypt sensitive data and verify that these protection layers are working as intended.
Investing in professional spam filtering services is essential for protecting your business. Here’s how our email spam filter service makes a difference:
While premium spam filtering services provide unparalleled protection and features, businesses on tight budgets may consider free options. Here are some insights into free email spam filter solutions and when they might be appropriate:

The pandemic occurred, and we were all ordered to stay home, and I panicked because I had no idea how it would affect my business. I didn’t have any capabilities of operating remotely, so I called Crown, and Crown helped relieve all of the stress that I had about it and got us all up and running remotely, put us up in the cloud, and we smoothly operated our business from home and our office.

My favorite thing about working with Crown is; I don’t know if we actually are on a priority list, but I feel like we are, and that is a great experience because I have no technical skills in that department. So we depend on them for everything that we need.

Spam filtering service at this level is the heart and soul of a spam filtering solution. An effective spam filter service is very important to businesses because it can save hours and hours per employee per year.
Before spam filtering and spam filtering software, dealing with malicious email threats was a nightmare for managed service providers like us at Crown Computers in the 90’s. Spam software was available for sale in the 90’s.
However, if you didn’t buy good spam software, unwanted messages and a flurry of malicious messages were practically unstoppable and very annoying. First came software-based solutions for spam messages.
Platforms like Outlook Express, Netscape Email, and Outlook were prominent, and Exchange servers were less common in the mid-’90s. Most business emails were accomplished via the POP3 and SMTP protocols. Email databases were not centralized. Mostly, they were located on end-user machines, such as the case with the email clients above.
Email spam filtering services would start to blossom later in the 2000s. In the 90s, spam filtering services were mostly delivered via software installs, and this was the most attainable spam filter for small businesses.
This software would block certain emails based on tracking where the emails came from, and people fighting spam used to get blacklisted. Then, the good figures of spam messages would share these lists, and the software would get rid of all the spam messages in your inbox that came from any of these places.
It was pretty amazing when this spam filtering software, or software known as a spam blocker, was invented because you would go from not being able to use your inbox to having only relevant email messages in your inbox. This was a major step in fighting against malicious emails.
Spam filtering solutions were still decentralized and needed to be installed on each workstation.
However, at the turn of the century, Microsoft pushed a product called Small Business Server 4.0, then 4.5, and then version 2000. This made small businesses like Crown Computers gain the ability to have enterprise users mail server accounts using a product called Exchange for a fraction of the cost.
Centralizing the employees’ email so that the Microsoft Office software Outlook could be used to access the exchange server’s email account per small business enterprise users. Then, you had one throat to choke with centralized solutions.
Centralized spam filters would range from firewalls that had spam filter capabilities to services on the Internet that had spam filter options. Also, many technology vendors that previously never sold spam filter solutions started selling them, such as SonicWall, Symantec, McAfee, and other vendors.
These companies saw spam filters as a way to gain another way to keep customers close by and into their specific ecosystem of products. This was a good move; however, in the end, companies that do not specialize in email solutions usually fall off the cart of being a best-in-class spam filter because their solution is a watered-down spam filter, as they focus on so many other things as well.
They cannot focus their energies on spam filters because they are so busy with other things, such as firewalls and/or endpoint protection. Observing spam filters over the past few decades, we believe that good spam filter solutions come from companies that spend more dev work on these products, which is their flagship product.
Watered-down spam filters focus on other products first, such as a firewall or some kind of hardware appliance. They also may have endpoint protection and/or virtual firewall flagship products, and then have a spam filter product to check a box. Crown Computers recommends businesses that we protect stay away from spam filter solutions from these companies. We are constantly trying to make sure we have the best solution for our clients, and we are not afraid of moving services as well.
