Apollo Hosting (www.apollohosting.com) has deployed the MailBoxCop premium email filter to its Total Solutions hosting plans. MailBoxCop is a comprehensive email filter, covering both viral threats and filtering unwanted spam email from a user's inbox. The MailBoxCop filter is updated automatically to remain current with the latest threats, and the software's spam filter is tuned not only by the individual user, but the aggregate preferences of all users.

Apollo Hosting CEO Martin Field explains, "This cumulative analysis of spam email creates a far more effective filter than one which relies solely on the selections of a single user. The filter's quality benefits from the experience of all users, and all users in turn benefit from a more effective filter."

MailBoxCop is part of Apollo Hosting's commitment to customer safety and security. The product blocks harmful attachments from reaching a customer's local machine, preventing a possible infection. Any suspicious email is held in quarantine, accessible via a browser-based interface. Advanced white and black list functionalities help users tag individual email addresses or entire domains they wish to either avoid or approve.

MailBoxCop is available on all Apollo Hosting platforms- shared website hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers. The filter introduces no noticeable delay in email performance, and can be activated within hours of receiving a customer request.
