OnlyMyEmail Dominates Virus Bulletin Spam Challenge

Results from eight consecutive Virus Bulletin VBSpam Challenges demonstrate that OnlyMyEmail's MX-Defender is decisively superior to any other spam filter available today. OnlyMyEmail has blocked more spam than 33 competing hardware appliances, server applications and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions in every single VBSpam evaluation completed since we joined the competition back in 2010.

Record Spam Capture Rate of 99.9994%

OnlyMyEmail's hosted business spam filtering solution also holds the all-time record spam capture rate since the inception of the VBSpam Challenge in 2009. During a 16-day live competition, the MX-Defender missed one single spam message out of 171,963 total for the best capture rate ever scored at 99.9994%. By comparison, the next best competitor missed 41 spam messages from the same corpus and third place allowed 97 of these junk emails to penetrate their filters.

Highest Score in VBSpam History

Not only has OnlyMyEmail stopped more spam than every competitor, every time, but our MX-Defender also has the distinction of having earned the highest overall score awarded since the competition began in 2009.
