Their spam guarantee doesn’t mince words: no false positives. David Troup explains how and why they developed their spam appliance and how long it takes customers to believe that guarantee. Troup also tells why he provides spam filtering for companies with 10 mailboxes or less for free.

What unmitigated bulls**t
We have had mailfoundry 8100s for over a year and given them every opportunity to make it right but their claim of zero false positives is nothing but ephemera. We get complaints of mail not being delivered to our customers everyday and have to constantly monitor quarantine queues to release and report false positives.
David’s response has been silence.

We have mailfoundry 4100s and 6100s for over 6 months. So long, no problems at all with very low false positives ratio (not zero, but near zero). However, lack of some good API, multi-language (localization) and cluster management.

We have been using mailfoundry for a while now and when we first started using them the false positive rate was excellent. Unfortunately over the last couple of months this has shot up to around 5%, sometimes higher. We are getting complaints from our customers of mail not arriving and frankly, the mailfoundry service is now no more effective than any free open source solution such as Spam Assassin. Complaints to mailfoundry have fallen on deaf ears. They claim that there is a bug fix on the way but its been over a month and they still have no ETA on a release. My advice to anyone wishing to invest in an anti spam appliance solution is STAY AWAY from mailfoundry!
