Problem
‘We wanted to migrate our spam filter from Spam Assassin to ASSP. We were using 70 Amazon instances and the server hosting bill was well over $20K/month. In addition, we were experiencing difficulties in delivering emails to customers.

Solution
- Attractive licensing model
- Excellent support
- Easy upgrade path
- Reliable and scalable architecture that eliminated inconsistencies
- Quarantine
- End-user logging for customers
- Message replay
- Enabling DuoCircle to continue as a service provider
